Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Speaking of this, Li Xiu looked around at the crowd, and as expected, there were still not a few people who were frightened.

But he suddenly smiled: "This group of thieves are the Bailian thieves who were beaten by us in the Temple of the City God that night!"

"There is nothing to be afraid of. My promise is still valid. Behead one person and reward ten taels of silver. Behead two people and reward 20 taels of silver. There is no upper limit! Of course, if any of you have the ability to take away these boxes of silver OK!"

As soon as this remark came out, many soldiers immediately laughed, Li Xiu naturally didn't care about anything, waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said: "I won't say too much, if anyone unfortunately dies in battle, 30 taels of compensation , I will send a lot of money to your family."

"But the ugly words are up front. If anyone dares to retreat in front of the battle, my knife will not be able to kill them!"

After a few words, Li Xiu gave an order, and the firearms team with Jinyiwei as the backbone came out from the gate of the courtyard and walked straight into the main street along the alley. It is surging.

Chapter 53 Collision

"Where did Brother Xiu get so much money?"

In the courtyard, Erwazi watched the expedition team worriedly, while Wu Tie at the side glanced at the three big boxes of silver and couldn't help asking.

"The bottom is empty!"

Erwazi glanced at Wu Tie and said angrily,

"Oh, let me just say, isn't all the money distributed to us, why are there so many..."

Upon hearing these words, a stern look immediately appeared between Erwazi's brows, but soon disappeared without a trace. Erwazi tightened the handle of the knife in his hand, turned around suddenly, and patrolled the courtyard to defend.

stomping on...

The crisp sound of horseshoes resounded through the night sky, and the silence in the city was instantly broken. The courageous people pushed open the windows and couldn't help but look around. When they saw the wolf-like figure in the darkness, one by one Subconsciously, he closed the window tightly, not daring to take a breath.

"Remember everything, listen to my order, don't panic, those thieves can't rush through with the shield blocking the horse!"

On the street, several rows of refusal horses forcibly cut off the street. Behind the refusal horses, there was a mixed row of brocade guards and inspectors armed with sharp spears and large shields. The inspection soldiers who were ready to light the matchlocks and shoot at any time, in the last row, Li Xiu also arranged for the young guards in Jinyi under his command to be responsible for loading the firecrackers.

After all, reloading matchlock guns is extremely complicated nowadays. With the military quality of these patrol soldiers, it is not bad if there are no mistakes in the current situation of the enemy. Normal reloading, it is estimated that no one can fix it in 2 minutes.

However, Li Xiu was quite relieved about his Jinyiwei. Generally, it could be reloaded in 30 seconds. In this battlefield where every second counts, it undoubtedly greatly increased the winning rate.

As for the inspection soldiers, what Li Xiu asked them was to pick up the loaded firecrackers and shoot them. There were too many, and Li Xiu didn't dare to ask extravagantly.

There is no doubt that this is a rather hasty and crude multi-stage shooting formation. If it was in the wild, with the military quality of this group of patrol soldiers, Li Xiu would never dare to arrange such a formation. However, the streets in the city are narrow, and only A main street runs through the whole city, and most of the other places are alleys and alleys, covered by thick fog and darkness, which gave Li Xiu the confidence to make such an arrangement.

Soon, a vague sense of vibration came from the ground very clearly, and then, in the darkness, the sound of rushing horseshoes also sounded.

Li Xiu pursed his lips, looking at the darkness in the thick fog in front of him, he felt a little lucky in his heart, the most terrifying thing when going into battle is fear.

Now, there is darkness in front of him, and he can't feel the horror of the enemy's impact at all, which is considered to be the time of day!

"Prepare!"

Feeling the sound getting closer, Li Xiu took a deep breath and raised his hand.

And following Li Xiu's order, the shield spearmen at the front parted a gap, and the row of gunmen behind them also subconsciously took a step forward. When the guns were raised, the fire folds had already reached the matchlock Beside, just wait for an order, and immediately light the match!

The atmosphere became tense in an instant, and the sound of horseshoes in the darkness, like the sound of bells and drums, struck hard in everyone's heart.

Time seems to be lagging behind at this moment.

"put!"

Li Xiu's sonorous command sounded suddenly.

The suppression suddenly broke, and the sound of burning matchlocks rang out one after another, followed by bursts of gunshots one after another.

Bang bang bang!

The fire suddenly appeared, and in the darkness, several screams followed.

In this dense fog, with the firing distance of dozens of steps, it is really impossible to see anything clearly.

"Second row, get ready to shoot!"

Li Xiu didn't pause at all, and immediately gave another order.

As the order was issued, the gunners who finished shooting in the first row immediately retreated to the last row in a hurry, and the gunners who were originally in the second row also raised their guns and walked forward.

Although the whole connection process was stumbling, fortunately, there was no big surprise.

There was another burst of crackling firecrackers sounding again, and then, under Li Xiu's order, the firecrackers in the third row stepped forward, with the same movement and the same order.

In the last row of Jinyiwei teenagers, each of them was busy loading the firecrackers.

According to Li Xiu's prediction, it takes about 30 seconds for the teenagers under him to load a firecracker, and the process from linking to shooting takes about ten seconds, and for three rows of firecrackers, it takes about 30 seconds to load. It just happens to form a pretty good cycle with the launch.

Of course, this is without going wrong.

Fortunately, if it was just shooting, the operation was extremely simple, and there was nothing wrong with this group of patrolling soldiers.

After several rounds of firecrackers, the galloping cavalry finally bumped into the horses blocking the street. At this moment, the whole street was turned upside down.

"kill!"

The soldiers at the front holding spears and shields were not idle either. Under Li Xiu's order, a large spear with a length of about ten feet pierced through the gap, and the sharp tip pierced into the flesh. The thief who howled in the horse refusal was immediately killed.

The three rows of firecrackers in the formation were not idle, one row after another, the firecrackers fired continuously, and the cavalry that was blocked in front of the repelling horses seemed to catch up and die.

The short distance of ten steps is the most powerful shooting range of the firecracker, coupled with the spread of the projectile, almost instantly, before the horse is rejected, it is full of blood,

Seeing the distressed appearance of these thieves, the patrolling soldiers who were still flustered couldn't help but feel relieved. Although the blood was really uncomfortable, they experienced the battle of the City God's Temple, and it was not like they didn't see each other. It's no big deal to bear the blood.

Bang bang bang!

The sound of muskets crackled non-stop, and the cavalry that came rushing forward rushed forward one after another, bumping into people on their backs, and finally being stabbed by spears and muskets ended their lives.

Stalemate!

bloody!

The situation seemed to be going well, but Li Xiu didn't dare to be careless at all.

His opponent is not an ordinary traitor, but the White Lotus Sect who possesses martial arts!

"be ready!"

He gave an order to the Jin Yiwei who were holding firecrackers on guard, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw several figures jumping up in the darkness, falling into the roof ridges on both sides, and galloping towards this formation like flying over the walls.

Bang bang bang!

Amidst the originally orderly sound of firecrackers shooting, several rather uncoordinated gunshots suddenly rang out. A few Jinyi guards stood beside Li Xiu with their guns raised. The muzzles of the firecrackers were still filled with gunpowder smoke. It has rolled to the ground.

"Keep in formation, keep shooting, don't mess up!"

With a stern voice, Li Xiu stared into the darkness. He knew that the crisis was far from over!

Chapter 54 Battle

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

It didn't exceed Li Xiu's expectations. After encountering this wave of sudden blows and heavy losses, the chaotic army that was rushing in also frantically retreated and ran for their lives.

Watching all this, Li Xiu couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Such a chaotic retreat was exactly what the military strategists said was a good time to take advantage of the victory and pursue it.

If he has enough troops, he only needs to send out an elite squad to follow and kill them, and it might be a big victory.

But now the troops in his hands are a bit stretched to build this formation, coupled with the cover of darkness and thick fog, even if the fighter opportunity is revealed, he has nothing to do.

"boom!"

At this moment, there was a sudden loud noise, and the ground seemed to tremble. Immediately afterwards, Li Xiu went straight to the street in the darkness. A ball of fire suddenly exploded, and dense sparks filled the street in an instant.

In the flashing flames, it can be clearly seen that the group of White Lotus Sect rebels who were scrambling to retreat, were also emptied in an instant as if they had been mowed, and it is unknown how many people were killed or injured.

Li Xiu looked back subconsciously, and only reacted when the tiger crouching cannon was still surrounded by gunpowder smoke.

These tiger crouching guns were naturally found in the arsenal of the county town, but because they were in disrepair for a long time, and no one knew how to use them, he didn't have much hope.

But then he suddenly remembered that the firearms map in the study seemed to record the use of the tiger squat cannon, so he moved the tiger squat cannon back to the courtyard.

There were too many things, and he naturally didn't have time to think about it. After holding the firearm map and throwing it to Li Zhen to think about it, he ignored it.

I didn't expect this kid to give me such a big surprise!

"Go forward fifty steps and fire one more shot!"

Hearing Li Xiu's order, Li Zhen moved forward fifty steps with two inspectors carrying a tiger squatting cannon. However, this time, the accuracy was a little bit off, and the cannonball landed on the ground. On the roof ridge by the street, a big hole was directly blown out of someone else's roof.

The third shot couldn't be fired. In just a short moment, the group of thieves had obviously retreated far away, covered by darkness and thick fog, they couldn't see anything at all.

Only the continuous wails still sounded in front of the formation. Although the bandits retreated, they had no time to take away those who fell down after being injured.

After leading people to make up for these fallen thieves and leaving a person to arrange for interrogation, Li Xiu glanced at the dark fog in front of him, and a ray of worry flashed between his brows. Darkness and dense fog are the most important Good cover, for both sides.

He is afraid of darkness and fog, and so is the other party.

His formation is backed by the alley, and the alley is where the house guarding the group of Bailian captives is located. There are still men and horses stationed in the house, so there is no need to worry about the rear, just face the enemy head-on.

It's just that the thieves were defeated in the first battle, so they retreated for the time being. After they reflected, it might be the time for the real confrontation.

"They should divide their forces, I hope Erwazi can hold on..."

"Brother Xiu, I found out after asking, they are from a nearby cottage..."

After listening to the results of the interrogation, Li Xiu raised his brows. This time, he thought he was wrong. He thought that this time it was the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Qi Meng, who made a big move this time. They were all the elites of the White Lotus Sect. Bandits and bandits, out of awe of the extraordinary power of martial arts, that's why he was so careful.

Unexpectedly, the main force to invade the city this time was a few bandits from the nearby mountains, and only a dozen or so people from the White Lotus Sect came!

"What time is it now?"

"Reporting to my lord, Yinshi is three quarters!"

"It's almost dawn!"

Li Xiu looked up at the night sky, looked up at the foggy night sky, with the confidence brought by the victory in the first battle, and after knowing that the main force of this group of bandits was bandits, he hoped that the darkness and dense fog would dissipate as soon as possible .

In this way, he won't be passively accepting moves all the time!

when necessary...

……

"Mr. Tang, as you can see, my brothers were the first to charge just now, and I, Heimuzhai, lost the most. It is unreasonable to call me Heimuzhai as the vanguard!"

"Who was the one who was clamoring to take the lead in the charge just now? Now that he was a little frustrated, he immediately retreated..."

"Fucking fart, you go charge the firearms array, and see whether you are more powerful than the iron cloth shirt, or the firecracker!"

"All right!"

Looking around at the big bosses of the various cottages who were arguing in front of him, Tang Liancheng's face was gloomy. The incident was sudden, and in addition, the sect had many plans in Qimeng County, so it was difficult for him to recruit too many elites from the sect.

Originally, according to his idea, he recruited a few cottages and broke open the city gate at night. With the appearance of the officers and soldiers who are afraid of death, he would probably be scared to pee when he knew that they had broken into the city. Nothing.

But I didn't expect that this time, I encountered a hard stubble, and directly gave him a blow in the head!

How could he not be clear about the nature of these bandits and thieves?

"In this way, from each of your cottages, pick out a few good players, and the old man will personally lead the team to raid that house..."

"You feign a frontal attack to attract the attention of that group of officers and soldiers. When the old man succeeds, we will cooperate inside and outside to wipe out this group of officers and soldiers in one fell swoop. At that time, this huge Shanyin City will be up to you, and I, the White Lotus Sect, will not take anything. "

"Mr. Tang is serious?"

The eyes of the bandit leaders lit up, and they couldn't help asking.

Supported by the White Lotus Sect, they had long been tied to the big ship of the White Lotus Sect, and they were forced to break the city this time.

But if they can seek great benefits for themselves in this helpless situation, they will naturally be willing to contribute.

"Of course!"

Tang Liancheng nodded affirmatively. He naturally knew that the group of people in front of him were all masters who didn't see rabbits or stalked eagles.

If this matter is not handled well, given the status of Wang Haoxian and Hou Mingxian in the teaching, once they are interrogated, it will be a disaster for the great cause of the teaching!

In contrast, this little bit of sweetness is really nothing!

"Well, Elder Tang has already said that, and I, Feng Shanzhai, have no choice but to give face. I, Feng Shanzhai, will be the vanguard!"

"You bastards, just follow behind and watch, and look at the sons and daughters of my Fengshan village!"

……

"Brother Xiu, it's already been arranged."

Erwazi, who was supposed to be in charge of guarding the Bailian captives in the house, ran over suddenly.

"Isn't it found?"
