Chapter 401 The torrent

Changle County, Qingzhou Prefecture, is adjacent to Laizhou Prefecture, and is a major transportation route between the two prefectures, connected by a wide post road. If you usually travel between Qingzhou Prefecture and Laizhou Prefecture, there should be a constant stream of pedestrians, and business travelers will rush to the night. But now, you can't see any pedestrians. The reason is very simple. One hundred miles east of Changle County is Weixian in Laizhou Prefecture. Now, Laizhou Prefecture is already a territory controlled by traitors.

The storm of rebellion in Laizhou Prefecture has seriously affected here. The wealthy families in Changle County, even the county magistrate, have already hid in Qingzhou City. Only a few people who are not afraid of death are left here. There were originally about 20,000 to 30,000 people in Changle County, but now there are less than 15,000. Of course, there are also many people who are welcoming the arrival of the thieves. They even publicly raised the banner to support the Tiger Ben Army.

For such people, the Ming army stationed in Changle County arrested them without hesitation, chopped their heads with one knife, and then burned their houses with one fire. The Ming army hung the heads of the people cut down on wooden poles to show their public. They were magnificent in strings. Because there were too many people killed and they all cut off their necks with one knife, the Ming army stationed in Changle County won the general nickname "Liu Yidao".

At this moment, Liu Yidao, the vicious general, stood on the head of Changle County, staring at the east field. In the darkness, there was no movement, but Liu Yidao felt that something big would happen tonight. He subconsciously felt that the Hu Ben Army was very likely to take action tonight. He had only five hundred Ming troops under his command, and if the thieves came here, they would definitely not be able to stop it.

Their only hope is that Zhang Zhun will not attack Changle County. Or, before Zhang Zhun attacks Changle County, they can escape here. If there is an order from the superior, they will be even more perfect. Unfortunately, all hope will soon disappear. Because, he suddenly noticed an unusual sound.

In the darkness, a very strange sound came, as if the earth was shaking quietly. The vibration was transmitted one after another, and it continued. This vibration was originally very mild, but later it became more and more intense. First, the Ming army, who was in charge of the alert, felt something was wrong, and then the Ming army in their sleep, began to feel something was wrong. They all got up one after another, and with a hint of panic, they closely watched the east side of Changle County. Such vibration was obviously coming from the east. And to the east, Laizhou Prefecture, the stronghold of the traitors.

Liu Yidao was also sweating his palms, and was very worried about the overwhelming thief army. If the thief army really arrived, any wave could flood Changle County. Judging from his experience, the thief army usually came with thousands or even tens of thousands of people, and even more exaggeratedly, hundreds of thousands of people. In the past, when the incense riots were rioted, the number of thieves was very large. If it could cause such a strong shock to the earth, the number of thieves would definitely not be small.

The vibration of the earth became stronger and stronger and clearer. The dust on the head of the city was already beginning to fall. The shooting holes between the battlements were also constantly falling down. The layers of dust were constantly jumping above the stairs on both sides of the city wall, jumping from the previous steps to the next, as if it was a band playing. Even the torches next to them felt such a vibration, and the flames were jumping violently. The people sleeping in the city woke up at this time.

"cavalry?"

Someone whispered.

That's right, it's the cavalry! Experienced people know that only cavalry can produce such an effect. Moreover, the number of cavalry will not be small, at least more than a thousand people! The other Ming army suddenly turned gray and their hearts were ashamed. Where did the cavalry come from? Could it be the cavalry of the Hu Ben Army? At this time, there were no other cavalry of the Hu Ben Army that appeared in the east? Even the most optimistic person would not guess that the cavalry of the Ming army traveled through Laizhou Prefecture to reach here, right?

Almost as they were thinking this way, a dense cavalry team appeared at the end of the torch light. When they first appeared, there were only a few cavalry, as if they suddenly appeared in the darkness. But soon, more cavalry suddenly emerged like a tide. Because they were wearing gray military uniforms, it was difficult to see clearly in the darkness, and from a distance, they looked like a group of ghosts constantly shaking.

It was indeed a whole cavalry!

Appearing in front of Changle County, it was indeed the cavalry of the Hu Ben Army!

Liu Yidao's inner shock is imaginable. What's the point? The Hu Ben Army actually has so many cavalry? Originally, the Hu Ben Army was very difficult to deal with, and even the Tartars were not the opponent of the Hu Ben Army. Now, the Hu Ben Army actually has so many cavalry. The combat power is not just doubled. It seems that the target of the Hu Ben Army's cavalry is not only Changle County, but also Qingzhou City behind it is also in danger.

It's finished!

This time it's absolutely over!

Liu Yidao kept wailing in his heart.

The Hu Ben Army has so many cavalry, even if they escape from the city, they cannot escape the pursuit of the cavalry! How could two legs be faster than four legs? Liu Yidao's original plan was to act a little, resist, and then take the opportunity to evacuate. Now it seems that there is no possibility!

"Boss, what should we do?"

A Ming army officer asked Liu Yidao with a pale face.

"How do I know?"

Liu Yidao answered unhappily.

With so many cavalry coming from the Hu Ben Army, it was a trivial matter to surround Changle County, and they had no chance to run out. What's even more terrible is that even if they had the chance to run out, are they the opponents of the cavalry in the open field outside? Without the cover of the city wall, they were only dead! The torrent of the Hu Ben Army's cavalry could easily submerge them all!

"Or why should we surrender?"

A Ming army officer said it directly.

Other Ming army officers also kept nodding.

"Look at your back!"

"Look at the head hanging from the wooden pole."

"I won't stop anyone who wants to surrender, but don't drag me!"

Liu Yidao said coldly.

The other Ming army officers were speechless.

Before the arrival of the Hu Ben Army, they killed many people in the city. Now all of these heads are hung on wooden poles for public display. A wooden pole with ten heads, and there are at least twenty or thirty such wooden poles. If they surrender to the Hu Ben Army, the Hu Ben Army will definitely hand them over to the people of Changle County to deal with it. At that time, their fate... they cannot imagine what effect they would have if they fell into the hands of those angry people.

Escape is impossible, and surrender is also death. There is no way, so I can only resist with a tough bullet. The Ming army officers left helplessly. Some people suddenly went crazy, pulled out their waists and chopped them everywhere. The blade cuts out sparks from the stones. The people next to them are accidentally chopped to death. Some people waved their swords and rushed towards the houses of the residents.

They wanted to vent their dying hard before they died. They wanted to rape, they wanted to kill, and they were completely crazy before they perish. Soon, the screams of women and the sounds of fighting sounded in many houses. The screams of little girls, the cry of children, and the pleas of adults were all agitated. Everyone around was alarmed. Some people fucked the guys and fought with these crazy officers.

In the chaos, I don’t know who started setting fire to the city. Some people’s houses were burned and fire burst out. The burning houses quickly spread and eventually turned into a large area of ​​fire, continuing to spread around. Some people wanted to put out the fire, but were killed by the Ming soldiers who had fallen into madness. The crazy Ming soldiers kept igniting more torches and throwing them into more houses. Soon, the entire houses in Changle County were ignited. The raging fire illuminated the sky for a long time, and when they looked around, they all seemed to be in the sky.

Liu Yidao ignored everything in front of him.

He was looking for an opportunity to escape. In fact, he had a little fantasy. His fantasy was that the Hu Ben cavalry might not attack Changle County. Perhaps, they were just passing by. For the cavalry, there was no need for them to attack Changle County. Really, the cavalry would go around from the side, and there was no problem at all.

“Passing by.”

"I hope they're passing by."

"God bless them, they must have been passing by."

Liu Yidao talked to himself in his heart, praying desperately.

However, he soon discovered that God had not heard his prayers, or had not been able to react. The Hu Ben Army cavalry stopped outside. The Hu Ben Army cavalry stopped, which meant that they would attack the city. Of course, the cavalry would not attack the city directly, and the horses could not fly to the city wall. However, after dismounting, they could attack the city.

On the top of Changle County, a Ming army stood up in a flash and shrunk, trying to see the movement outside clearly. The Ming army soldier held a wooden shield in his left hand and a waist knife in his right hand. He blocked the shield in front of his chest to block the possible injuries from the front. Liu Yidao recognized the Ming army. This guy was the most fierce murderer. The waist knife in his hand killed three families in a row, with a total of more than 30 people, not even letting go of the newborn baby. Even Liu Yidao felt that this guy was completely crazy behind him.

The sharp-eyed Yuwen Hantao raised his hand and shot him.

"Bang!"

With a gunshot, the Ming army fell to the ground with a sluggish knife and shield in their hands all fell aside. After the shield landed, it continued to roll forward like a wheel. It rolled to the stairs and then continued to roll down the stairs. The shield jumped down step by step, like a doll jumping down the stairs. As the shield rolled faster, the sound became louder and louder, and it felt like it was about to explode. Sure enough, the shield rolled to the last step, and it shattered with a bang, and the fragments flew everywhere.

At the place where the Ming army fell, blood flowed all over the ground. It turned out that Yuwen Hantao's bullet just hit his head. Although it did not have a headshot, it was a fatal shot. The gun shot out the bird, who told him to poke his head out first?

Liu Yidao was shocked and hurriedly hid behind the city wall. The other Ming soldiers hurriedly hid behind the battlements, not daring to move at all. The atmosphere was suffocating and crazy. Suddenly, the Ming army stood up again. It was an equally cruel guy. He probably lost his mind and fucked his three-eyed gun and was about to fire outside.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Several consecutive gunshots came.

The Ming army was shot several times on the upper body, and fell to the ground, covered in blood. But the three-eyed gun in his hand had been lit and was about to be fired soon. The three-eyed gun was originally shot in turn, and it was shot again after firing one shot. Otherwise, the recoil would be relatively strong and it would be difficult to control the correct head. However, this fierce guy actually lit the rope at the same time.

He was going to fire at the Hu Ben cavalry, but the three-eyed gun had fallen down before it was launched. What's more serious is that the position of the three-eyed gun muzzle was aimed at the Ming army next to him. Once the three-eyed gun was fired, they would all be covered by bullets. The Ming army was shocked and hurriedly avoided.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Three gunshots in a row, and the three-eyed guns really exploded.

Due to the influence of recoil, the direction of the three-eyed gun is changed every time it explodes. Therefore, the direction of its shooting is completely messy. Poor to the escaped Ming army, they avoided the first shot, but could not avoid the two shots behind.

"ah!"

"ah!"

"ah!"

The Ming army nearby screamed in pain.

In the chaos, I don’t know how many Ming soldiers were injured. Anyway, the scene was very chaotic, and all the ground was covered with blood. After the gunshot, at least five or six people fell down screaming. Within such a short distance, they were hit by the three-eyed gun. The consequences can be imagined. Sometimes the three-eyed guns are not a single projectile, but a small iron sand. Such three-eyed guns are equivalent to three shotguns, which can be controlled in a large range. This makes it even worse. When one shot is out, the iron sand will fly across, and everyone in the shooting range will be affected. If their distance is more than ten feet, it will be fine, but they are within ten feet.

When the Ming army was running away, they stood up in a panic and forgot that there were snipers from the Hu Ben Army outside. As a result, their bodies were immediately exposed. The Hu Ben Army outside the city were closely monitoring the movements on the city. The torches on the city were very bright, just allowing them to accurately shoot these targets. Of course, they would not be polite when they found the targets.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Sure enough, the sound of gunfire sounded.

Almost every gunshot, a Ming army fell to the ground on the top of the city.
Chapter completed!
