Chapter 591: A Fire of Zhu County's Order
Since the thieves could easily attack the city, Zhu Su expected that there were thieves in the city, but at this time, Xu Zhen, the judge of the Salt Transportation Division, went out with his five hundred salt dings, which was suspicious.
Regardless of whether this is a coincidence or not, Xu Zhen obviously can't count on it, so Zhu Kun can only send people to ride horses to the neighboring county for help, because Yancheng County is stationed with a guard of men and horses-Yancheng Wei. Guo Jindiao also sent a brother from a battalion of 500 to rush to Yangzhou City on two horses to report to Xu Jinyu.
Drive......
Zhu Kun galloped on the Fan Gong Embankment, and Guo Jindiao led eight brothers to follow closely behind.
Zhu Kun's destination was the Xixi Inspection Division, where there were still 120 patrolmen, and he planned to gather them to go into the city to rescue.
About two teas later, everyone rushed to the outside of the Xixi Inspection Division, Zhu Kun was about to turn over and get off and immediately call the door, but Guo Jindiao faintly felt that something was wrong, because the inspection department was too quiet, and the fire in the city could be seen here, and there was no reason why the inspectors here did not react.
At this moment, there was a string sound in the inspection department, and a sharp arrow shot from the arrow tower. Guo Jindiao hurriedly shouted: "Lord Zhu be careful. ”
Zhu Su rolled off his horse in embarrassment, and the sharp arrow swept past his ears without a shot, and almost all of it sank into the sand.
Bang......
Guo Jindiao raised his hand to shoot, only to hear a miserable scream, and a black shadow fell from the arrow tower. Zhu Kun's face was pale, he got up from the ground, rushed forward with his knife and kicked on the camp gate of the Inspection Division, the camp gate was kicked open, and the inside was obviously not locked.
Seeing this, Guo Jindiao drove forward and smashed the gate open, and rushed in first, and the gunshots rang out immediately, and the ten pirates who remained in the inspection department were quickly shot.
Guo Jindiao took eight brothers to search and kill in the inspection department, and soon found a mountain of corpses behind the inspection department, it is obvious that all the 120 inspectors stationed here have been poisoned, and judging from the wounds on the bodies of these inspectors, it is estimated that most of them were wiped on their necks in their sleep.
Zhu Kun couldn't help but be shocked and angry, the corpses of these patrolmen were already a little stinky, and it seemed that they had been dead for a short time, that is to say, the thieves had occupied this place at least last night, and killed all the patrolmen here without knowing it.
Zhu Kun's face was extremely gloomy, as if he had suddenly woken up to something, and said urgently: "Mr. Guo, quickly, find something to ignite the fire and burn all the boats on the river outside." ”
Guo Jindiao will soon come to his senses, the thieves first occupied the Xixi Inspection Division, obviously planning to use the sea outlet and ships here, and after the attack on Dongtai County was successful, he fled from here to sea with his goods.
Soon, Zhu Kun and others came to the inspection department to find fire oil and other fire-igniting things, and set fire to all the boats on the river.
Zhu Kun's idea is very simple, burning the ship is nothing more than to cut off the thief's retreat and prevent the thief from escaping, but Zhu Kun forgot one point, that is, the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and the beast without a retreat is the most terrifying.
It was Zhu Kun's fire that led to the subsequent endless turmoil, and a war that swept through the coastal provinces of the Ming Dynasty was also ignited.
Looking at all the sea ships caught in the raging fire, Zhu Kun only felt a slight breath of evil, and took Guo Jindiao and the others to decisively kill back to the city again.
……
The warehouse of the county government is an independent courtyard, about 300 square meters, with a two-meter-high courtyard wall built on all sides, which has been surrounded by thieves at this time.
Although the courtyard gate of the small courtyard has been destroyed, the thieves dare not rush inside, because someone has tried, but the result is that they were overturned by random guns before they can cross the threshold, and there are still two dead people lying there screaming miserably.
As for climbing the wall to attack, it is even more undesirable, the thieves who climb the wall are live targets, and they are shot in the head by lead bullets as soon as they appear, and at this time there are more than a dozen corpses lying horizontally outside the wall.
Ouchi Sosui's face was very ugly, because before this, neither Fujing nor Hosokawa Takeshu had told him that there were fifty Ming soldiers armed with flintlock pistols in the warehouse, and just now he led the first batch of samurai under his command to rush in, but he was almost shot, and eight of his samurai were killed and wounded.
"Big boss, the officers and soldiers won't have too much ammunition, let's find some door panels as shields to rush in and consume their ammunition." Ergouzi proposed to Chen Dong.
Chen Dong was very happy by the big boss of the second dog, and laughed and said: "Good idea, listen to it, everyone quickly find a few door panels to use as shields, whoever attacks first, Lao Tzu will reward one hundred taels of silver, kill an officer and soldier, and reward fifty taels of silver." ”
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, and those pirates immediately found two door panels, and then slowly moved into the courtyard in groups of three.
However, the door panel was not large, and the three thieves were afraid of being shot, so they squeezed into the middle as much as possible, but when they crossed the threshold, their movements were uncoordinated, and someone tripped and fell, which caused a chain reaction, and the three people rushed into the street together, and the door panel that was used as a shield naturally fell.
The 500 battalion soldiers who were ambushed inside were honestly unkind, and a row of guns fired, and the three thieves were shot dead on the spot, and the three thieves behind the second door panel were so frightened that they immediately shrank when they saw this.
Baihu Zhao Bin couldn't help laughing, and shouted while changing ammunition: "Brothers, aim and fight, don't waste ammunition...... Exercise! ”
Zhao Bin was talking, when he suddenly felt that under the moonlight, a cold star hit from the roof on the left, and he subconsciously shrank his head, resulting in a crossbow arrow flying over his head, shooting off all the standard hats.
Bang bang bang......
Several swift soldiers immediately fired back at the roof, but unfortunately missed, the person who released the dark arrow was very cunning, and immediately lay on the ridge of the roof after releasing the cold arrow, at this angle, the flintlock gun could not hit him at all.
Zhao Bin picked up the hat and put it back on, hid behind the root pillar and peeked into the roof, but with a bang, another crossbow arrow shot down, and a brother fell to the ground with an arrow in the chest, and died of exhaustion after a few struggles.
"Old Meng!" Zhao Bin's eyes were cracked, and he raised his gun and shot at the roof.
Bang bang bang......
More than a dozen guns were fired one after another, causing the roof to be shattered, and the monk Pujing who was hiding on it had to retreat some distance.
"Damn, all in the house!" Zhao Bin decisively carried Lao Meng's body and retreated into the warehouse, and the other brothers also hurriedly retreated into the warehouse, relying on the doors and windows to defend and counterattack.
As a result, the thieves outside immediately swarmed into the courtyard, dispersed the miscellaneous objects hiding in the courtyard, and used bows and arrows to shoot at the officers and soldiers of the 500 battalions in the warehouse.
