Chapter 145: The Dock Fort is a stumbling block
When the people of Xujiabao first began to deliberate, five miles away from the northwest side of Xujiabao, 1,500 light horsemen also gathered here, ready to strike a thunderous blow at Xujiabao.
Zhao Xun sent the wounded and foot soldiers to a nearby town, and after leaving five hundred light horsemen, he rushed to the vicinity of Xujiabao with Qi He, Zhao Xiong and others, who were eager for revenge. They want to take Xujiabao as the first target of revenge, first, Xujiabao has the largest number of people, and Wubao is the strongest. The second is that one of the two captives is from this Xujiabao.
"Xu Haijiang! How many families are there in this Xujiabao? Zhao Xun stared at Xu Haijiang, who was shrugging his head, and asked.
Xu Haijiang hurriedly said: "My lord, spare us Xujiabao, you can do whatever you want, my lord...... Ah......h
One of Xu Haijiang's fingers was shattered by Han Meng's blow.
Zhao Xun bowed his head and said coldly: "If you don't say it, I will make your life worse than death, do you think we can't take Xujiabao?" Don't say it, take Xujiabao, I won't leave the chickens and dogs! Zhao Xun didn't expect that Xu Haijiang, who was greedy for life and afraid of death yesterday, would intercede for Xujiabao, and his two fingers were broken in a row, and he still didn't say anything.
Although Zhao Xun admires Xu Haijiang's current character, he will never stop there, if the Xu family did not attack his subordinates, maybe it was just dealt with according to the law, but now, the Xu family must be eradicated.
"Stun him, Han Meng, let everyone take off their armor and straighten their clothes, and we will pretend to be defeated mountain bandits and enter Xujiabao."
Han Meng scratched his head and said, "My lord, why bother so much, it's good to go in directly, it's just a dock fort, what can you do to help us?" โ
"If you can reduce casualties, you can reduce casualties, and siege is not the strength of cavalry."
"Zhang Mu, since he doesn't cooperate, then you cooperate." Zhao Xun looked at the other captive and said coldly.
Zhang Mu felt a chill in his heart, and said again and again: "The villain must cooperate." โ
On the wall of Xujiabao, several patrolmen lazily pestle together, not knowing what they were muttering, not letting out a burst of wild laughter.
"Captain, didn't you say that the Evil Army had been defeated? Why do you want us to patrol every day, alas, I didn't sleep well last night. A housekeeper yawned.
"Okay, you're itchy with your skin, aren't you, you're not satisfied with eating and drinking, do you still want to be like those disaster victims outside?"
"Hehe, it's just talking, captain don't take it personally." The man who spoke earlier smiled cautiously.
"Huh? You see, it's the team that went out to run errands and has returned. One of them pointed into the distance and said loudly.
The captain looked at the team that was getting closer and closer, and said enviously: "I wonder how many good things they got this time?" If only I could do it with them. This kind of team that goes out to "do things" can get a lot of good things every time, and those family members can also hide some private goods, and the Xu family also ignores this, and completely regards it as a reward, but unfortunately he won't fight right away and can't participate.
"Huh? It doesn't seem right, so frustrated, did it fail? The captain frowned at these listless but revealing this strange atmosphere, and muttered to himself in confusion.
"Hurry up and open the door, Young Master Haijiang is injured." The cavalry approached the city gate, and one of them said loudly and tremblingly.
"Who are you?" The captain felt that these people were a little unfamiliar, and asked hesitantly.
"Keep your eyes open and see, the day before yesterday, I went out of the city with your young master."
The captain took a closer look, and it was indeed out of the city with Young Master Haijiang two days ago, as if he was the commander of another dock fort, and behind him, Young Master Haijiang was indeed injured and lying on horseback, motionless. So he suppressed the doubts in his heart, and asked people to open the gate of the village, "What's the matter with you?" โ
"It's an ambush, don't ask again, your young master is injured, let's go in." If something goes wrong, take you and ask. โ
"Right away!" The captain didn't dare to ask more, and laughed.
"The city gate is open, everyone prepare, kill in!" Zhao Xun stared at the slowly opening door and commanded in a low voice.
"Squeaky ......"
The sturdy gate was slowly pushed open by the Xujiabao family behind the door.
Zhao Xun raised his gun and pointed at it, and shouted: "Kill me!" โ
"Kill, kill, kill!" The knight of the castle shouted with his sword, accelerated instantly, and killed the gate.
"You ......" The captain on the dock fort was startled, and before he could react, a feathered arrow had already sunk into his throat.
"They are not our people, the enemy is coming......" Ding Fa, the patrolman around him, was stunned for a moment, and then cried out miserably.
"Shoot ......"
The guards in the back took out their crossbow arrows and rained arrows at the family members on the city wall who were ready to counterattack.
A family member stretched his neck to look out, his body stiffened, like a duck that was choked by the neck, a dazzling black light flickered from the fog, and the black dense clouds were like maggots rising on the flat ground, overwhelmingly attacking, accompanied by "Boom! "Strange whistling sounds filled the sky.
"Be careful, it's a crossbow!" Among them, there were veterans who had participated in the battle with the Yan Yan army shouted bitterly, and they retreated several steps in a panic, and the arrows falling from the sky covered the city, and more than a hundred guards were stuck all over their bodies by the falling arrows, and their eyes were bulging and fell.
"Ahh
The terrible screams resounded through the city wall, and a large number of unprepared family members fell, they were just ordinary family members, except for the weapons in their hands, there was no way to resist, and under one blow, the city wall was basically empty.
"Immediately blow the trumpet, communicate, call for help!" An old soldier shouted bitterly.
"Woo woo woo ......" The remnants of the family hurriedly blew the horn, but they no longer had much hope for help. Xujiabao now has less than 500 family members, how can they be the opponent of the more than 1,000 cavalry outside the city. They really didn't understand why there were cavalry attacking here.
In the hall of Xujiabao, as soon as he finished discussing the matter of facing the Huolin Army, he heard the sound of a horn coming from outside the dock fort.
"What's going on?"
"How can there be a trumpet?"
Xu Changhai's face turned pale, and he said in a lost voice: "Someone is attacking here!" โ
With that, the butler outside the door hurried in.
"Old ...... Master, it's not good, it's terrible......"
"Huh?" An old man was furious and said, "Don't you see that we are deliberating? Who let you in? What's going on out there? โ
The butler knelt on the ground and shouted with a crying voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's terrible, there are cavalry outside to fight in the dock fort, and we can't resist it." There were nearly 2,000 of them, and they were very brave, and the men in the dock fort were no match at all. โ
"What!?" The old man was startled. Huo Ran bowed and sat up, but immediately sat back on the table, and scolded: "Nonsense, it's just nonsense, how can there be about 2,000 cavalry in Yanzhou Mansion now who will attack Wubao indiscriminately." โ
The housekeeper said in a delicious voice: "Yes...... Can...... But, but it's true. โ
At this time, the commander of the family in the dock fort also hurriedly broke in, and said in a delicious voice: "Master, it's not good! The thieves of the thieves have come in, and most of the families in the dock fort have been killed by them, and now they are coming straight here! โ
"Huh?" The old man gasped, then he believed it, and said in a lost voice: "Really...... Is this really? Who are these people? โ
Xu Haiwen said miserably: "Nearly two thousand cavalry, except for the Huolin Army, there is no one else, how could they kill in, the guards above the dock fort?" Are they all dead? โ
"Kill, kill, kill, kill ......"
Xu Haiwen's voice fell, and an earth-shattering shouting and killing sound suddenly sounded outside the mansion, and then there were hurried horses' hooves and chaotic footsteps to break into the Xu family's inner mansion, and rushed straight into the hall, Xu Changhai and the others only heard a few weapon collisions and several screams outside, and then the door of the hall was kicked open with a heavy kick, and a group of wolf-like soldiers had already broken in with steel knives in their hands and murderously.
Xu Changhai looked up and saw that the young man who was only eight or nine years old in the first grade walked straight to the hall surrounded by a group of soldiers. The flame unicorn cloak on the back indicates the identity of this person.
Looking at this young man with a heroic face and compelling pressure between the marches, Xu Changhai smiled miserably and said, "Huolin Army? Zhao Xun? โ
Zhao Xun looked at the room of old and young in the hall of the Xu family, and replied coldly: "Huolin Army, Zhao Xun!" I guess you know what I'm here for. โ
Xu Changhai said bitterly: "I said I didn't know that the target of our attack was your subordinates, do you believe it." โ
Zhao Xun smiled indifferently and said, "I believe it!" โ
Xu Changhai's face showed joy, and he said urgently: "I am willing to compensate, and the Xu family is also willing to obey Lord Zhao's ......."
Zhao Xun waved his hand to interrupt Xu Changhai's words, and said in a deep voice: "It's late!" Kill! Then he turned around and left.
Xu Changhai was shocked, as if he had lost his pillar, and before he could speak, he felt a chill in his neck and fell into boundless darkness.
Zhao Xun stood outside the hall, listening to the miserable wails in the hall, unmoved, and not long after, the entire hall fell silent.
"My lord, the Xu family's inner mansion, there is no life left!" Han Meng replied with a bloody aura all over his body.
"Big brother, all the families in the dock fort have been exterminated, what should the rest of the people do?" Zhao Xiong also came over with a bloodstain to ask for instructions.
"Qi He, what do you think?" Zhao Xun asked Qi He beside him.
The master of Xujiabao who Qi He had killed with his own hands before, the hatred in his heart had also disappeared mostly, and when he saw Zhao Xun's inquiry, he replied: "I have avenged my brothers, and as for these captives, I am willing to listen to the orders of my lord." It's just that there are still a lot of family members of the Xu family in this mansion, will it be ...... if they stay here?"
"Except for the newly recruited victims, the rest are killed! As for this Xujia Fort, burn it, the storage of these dock forts is a stumbling block to the advance of our Huolin Army. We will crush these stumbling blocks completely. Zhao Xun said lightly, but in his words, he revealed this heavy bloody atmosphere.
"Yes!"
Zhao Xun gave an order, Xujiabao was burned, in addition to the 500 families were all executed, more than 500 people in Xujiabao were also killed. There are more than 1,000 disaster victims, who were placed in nearby villages and towns by Zhao Xun, and the cultivation was naturally the fields that originally belonged to Xujiabao but now belonged to themselves, and the materials of Xujiabao were also replenished to the emerging villages and towns.
Exterminating Xujiabao, Zhao Xun did not regret it, and he couldn't leave hidden dangers for himself. At the same time, this is also to deter other dock forts, of course, Xujiabao is only one of the destroyed miรจ, but it is by no means the last.
