Chapter 38 Fighting against Violence in Hebei (4)

When I woke up in the early morning, the smell of military mosquito repellent last night had dissipated, and the troops had pulled back water from the river outside the village. The aroma of the meal spread out in the smoke of cooking. Qin Mohuan liked pumpkin rice very much. This huge plant, which is said to come from thousands of miles away, has a very special sweet taste. It is not heartburn and smooth when eaten.

The breakfast was pumpkin, corn, red date noodle soup porridge, that is, the pumpkin, corn, and red dates were washed and stewed in a pot. After the water boiled, the batter was stirred in. In addition, there were steamed buns, pickles, and military-purified meat. As the aroma of the meal spread, the child next to the family couldn't help but look around the army. Before the children could get closer, the family pulled the child home. Then he heard the child's vague crying.

In the morning, the troops sent a horse to investigate Zhujiazhuang, and thought that Zhujiazhuang might take the initiative. After the investigation, it was found that Zhujiazhuang was closed and he had to defend with all his strength. At noon, he got news and wanted to explore the horse again. It would be great if the people from Zhujiazhuang could come out to fight. The Red Turban Army was confident that they would annihilate these bastards in one fell swoop in the field.

As soon as I arranged a job, a guard came to report, "The family next to me ran out of the village with their children."

"Run outside the village?" Qin Mohuan was very surprised. The reason why everyone did not take care of those families was because these families not only had female relatives, but also children. Looking at the appearance of those people, they belonged to a very normal family. If they were spies, they would definitely have only a few people who were convenient for action, or had some unrelated female relatives to cover up. When they saw their relationship, they knew that they were not a family.

What's the matter with the newly returned family going outside the village?

"Go and stare." Qin Mohuan ordered.

Not long after, the sentry came back to report, "The family was picking wild vegetables outside and digging out bird's nest."

Qin Mohuan probably knew the situation of the family, so he didn't bring much food. The instructor next to him sighed: "It seems that he was going out to hide from the meal."

The sentry was puzzled and asked, "Instructor, what does it mean to hide from a meal?"

The instructor replied: "There is a child in that family. When the smell of our meal this morning, the child cried. The adults can hold it back, how can the child bear it? The family was so angry that they were afraid that the child would cry again, so they simply took the child to avoid our meal."

Qin Mohuan sighed in his heart that the instructor was proficient in people's hearts, but he still didn't believe it. When it was almost dinner, the Red Turban Army started to burn the fire, and the family actually took the children out. He sent someone to follow him and found that the family was not doing anything special, just coaxing the children. They didn't come back until the Song army finished their meal.

Seeing the situation, as the instructor said, Qin Mohuan ordered: "We should have some leftover things. Give one to each of the family."

The instructor said, "Don't scare others. Don't we have a special food box for meals, put the food in and deliver it to the door of that house."

The next day, the family went out early in the morning. The sentry reported that they began to repair the barren farmland. The bowl they had eaten was carefully placed in the food box and placed it in a very conspicuous place close to the Red Turban Army. Hearing that the family had begun to resume cultivation, Qin Mohuan sighed: "Prepare a meal for them at noon."

The formal troops of the Red Turban Army have sufficient food guarantees. The ones given to this family are the leftovers in the pot after the army finished the meal, but they are far more than the food of ordinary landlords in Hebei. This was the case every day for the next two days. The male owner of the family finally came to pay a visit. The male owner was tall and said after the greeting: "But you don't know that you are staying here and preparing to farm here?"

Ordinary people who have never read books cannot say the word "mixing farm" no matter what. Qin Mohuan replied: "We are going to attack Zhujiazhuang."

"Seeing that you are so cautious, I think you have scored in."

"Well. Being spared by the authenticity of Zhujiazhuang." Qin Mohuan answered in a calm tone.

"I have heard of the rumors about the Great Song Dynasty Heavenly Soldiers, and have read some notices. It said that the Great Song Dynasty Heavenly Soldiers would never bypass the traitors. But they also promised not to hurt the Han people. Now I have seen your words and deeds, so it is true. Zhujiazhuang has been continuously cultivated for two generations for twenty years. Relying on their role as the Marquis of the Han Army, they have to capture the people around them every year to do hard work. My family knows a little about the ways to build Zhujiazhuang."

Qin Mohuan nodded slightly, "Sir, please teach me."

An hour later, Qin Mohuan came to the battalion commander to report the latest news. The battalion commander was not particularly happy after hearing this, but asked, "Can this person believe what he said?"

Qin Mohuan replied: "Battery Commander, we have discussed how to attack Zhujiazhuang. The way to discuss is to blow up the wall and go straight to the core area of ​​Zhujiazhuang. Let's try what this person said. If what he said is true, it can help us avoid some paths. If what he said is false, it will have no effect on us."

Hearing this, the battalion commander looked at the second company commander Li Fangfang. Breaking through the exterior wall is a very common method, but destroying ordinary walls gives everyone a strange feeling. However, when Li Fangfang went to rescue Qin Mohuan last time, he blasted the ordinary walls. This method expanded the combat ideas of the troops, and the troops pursued victory. The practice of being able to directly attack the enemy's core has always been the most efficient method.

After a little discussion, everyone put the latest news into the offensive plan. The task responsible for the new blasting route was handed over to the company that suffered considerable losses in the first battle. The Red Turban Army's troops have been quickly rebuilt according to the Song army's model. Those troops that were carried out as tentatively have suffered relatively large losses, at least no one dared to laugh at them. The troops are a whole, and a company uses blood and life to accumulate experience for everyone, and those who laugh at them will be locked up.

After confirming, the next day, the troops got up before dawn, and had breakfast in the early morning. Qin Mohuan arrived outside Zhujiazhuang again, and his heart was filled with the flames of revenge. The gate of Zhujiazhuang was closed and still quiet. The Song army's ten-pound field cannon began to shoot fiercely like last time. However, this time the gate seemed to be more resistant. After more than a dozen shots in a row, the gate had not fallen. After twenty shots, the gate was shattered. Everyone was surprised to look over, but they saw that the gate was blocked by stones and mud.

"I'm xxooxoox!" Qin Mohuan couldn't help but curse.

But no matter how much he scolded, Qin Mohuan had no other way at this time. The people in Zhujiazhuang obviously had more comprehensive preparations. This door didn't work. In addition to starting to attack other doors, Song Jun also quickly sent a message to Zhiguzhai. On that day, several doors in Zhujiazhuang were broken, but found that all the doors were filled to death.

On the third day, the straw bags from Zhigu Village were delivered outside Zhujiazhuang. Each of the entire army prepared three straw bags, and the village head Qin Mohuan, who was suppressing the wall with artillery fire, took the lead and carried two straw bags to the outside of the manor's guardrail wall, and threw the straw bags to the corner of the wall. The soldier behind Qin Mohuan also threw the straw bags they carried under the city wall, and then retreated with Qin Mohuan.

Following the first company was the second company and the third company. Each commander and fighter threw four straw bags, and a slope spread to the wall of the manor was made. The commanders and fighters of the Red Turban Army held their weapons tightly and rushed to the wall with shouts. There were also a few strong men who were not afraid of death left on the wall. The Red Turban Army's crossbow arrows instantly sent these several to the west.

The soldiers did not pause and threw it into the wall again. A road leading from the wall to the manor was paved. The watchtower was quickly transported to the wall. Several long steel drills were inserted into the ground, and the four corners of the temporary watchtower were closely connected to the steel drills. The lookout quickly climbed to the top of the watchtower, which was six or seven meters high, and then began to use signal flags to direct and convey messages.

Qin Mohuan led his troops into the city, according to the latest news. The maze in Zhujiazhuang is repeated during May Day. The second one must be a dead end. There are no other tunnels or ambushes in the dead end. For the designers of Zhujiazhuang, this is a simple setting. There are many people in the Red Turban Army that see this, but there are always some strange ideas in everyone.

‘Isn’t this kind of dead end a natural safe passage?’ When this view was put forward, everyone immediately discovered that the dead end had such a role.

In the Zhujiazhuang design, the back of the dead end was also a dead end. Explosives blew away the earth wall between the two dead ends, and a safe passage was immediately opened. After a little smoke and dust fell, the troops invaded through the passage to a location closer to the core of Zhujiazhuang.

He kicked open a door, and saw the dirt marks painted on the screen wall at the door. Qin Mohuan's troops carefully poked the ground with a spear to confirm that there were no traps underground. Then he bypassed the screen wall, which was said to be a sign of a dead end, and the yard behind looked empty. After checking, it was confirmed that there were no traps and no passages for surprise attacks.

The engineer carried a sharp small steel shovel and began to dig pits on the rammed earth wall. After finishing the shaving, he stuffed an explosive bag into it and the troops evacuated. The blasting hand took the fuse, lit it and dodged it. Not long after, a loud noise and vibration came, and then smoke and dust sprayed out of the yard.

Three passages were exploded in a row, Qin Mohuan led his troops to cross the broken earth wall, bypassed the screen wall, and rushed out of the gate. He saw that there was a large courtyard in front of him. At this time, there were a group of people opposite him, holding weapons. The leader was a young man in steel armor, with a silver spear in his hand. Although he looked surprised, he still stepped forward and shouted: "Where are you from the thief?"

Qin Mohuan finally saw the person who looked like the leader in Zhujiazhuang. He was so excited that he went up and shouted, "I am your grandfather Qin Mohuan, so I'm not talking nonsense. Those who have the courage will come forward to die."

After hearing Qin Mohuan's angry scolding, the young general of Zhujiazhuang's silver spear was furious and couldn't help but take a few steps forward. Qin Mohuan asked his subordinates to stop in place, and he also walked forward with a spear. After so long, Qin Mohuan only wanted to kill someone to vent his anger. The situation of the two fighting alone had already been completed, and neither of them had the intention to retreat, so they raised their spear and came to kill them.

Qin Mohuan was very happy in this fight. The silver spear player on the opposite side was actually a martial artist. Although he was not as good as a female hero from a famous family like Li Fangfang, he was not comparable to that of ordinary people who had practiced some martial arts. However, Qin Mohuan was still alive on the battlefield and has been asking a lot of advice from Li Fangfang in recent months. Although the silver spear player of the Zhu family is far better than ordinary people, his understanding of spear technique is far from Qin Mohuan.

Qin Mohuan just relaxed a little on the left, and the silver spear player was tricked and attacked from this seemingly disadvantageous place. Seeing that the young general was exerting too much force when he stabbed forward, Qin Mohuan blocked the spear. His strength was much greater than that of the silver spear player. By blocking, he immediately bounced the opponent's spear high. Just when the opponent's body was unstable, Qin Mohuan had already pulled the gun back, and the gun was like a dragon, and it was inserted into the chest of the silver spear player.

If it was an ordinary enemy, this shot would definitely cost the opponent's life. However, Qin Mohuan knew that he had been wrong. The silver spear on the opposite side was wearing the steel armor of the Song army. This steel armor has extremely strong protection and the position of the chest was reinforced. He was able to make a good move, so he naturally used the gun to stab the chest.

Sure enough, the tip of the gun should have pierced the steel armor on the chest, but it failed to pierce the chest armor. The feeling on the hand was that the tip of the gun in the front stab was firmly blocked. If the gun stabbed the abdomen, it could be at least two or three inches deep.

This is the case with the fight between cold weapons. This is the gap that is enough to determine life and death. The young silver spear of Zhujiazhuang has staggered and stepped back a few steps. Then he shouted, and fled around the courtyard with his subordinates, and fled into the depths of the village. Qin Mohuan snorted coldly and shouted viciously: "You guys, it's hard to fly today!"

Not long after, the follow-up troops had already begun to enter. Everyone joined forces and began to continue attacking the core area of ​​Zhujiazhuang.

After chasing for a while, several people suddenly appeared in front of them. They were holding white flags and shouting loudly: "My masters, we are here to negotiate."

Qin Mohuan, who was rushing in front, stopped and shouted angrily: "If you have anything to say, hurry up and say it."

"My masters, as long as you withdraw your troops, we are willing to give you a thousand taels of silver to you as hard-earned money."

"Is there anything else?" A cold woman's voice sounded beside Qin Mohuan. It turned out that Li Fangfang, the company commander of the Second Company, rushed over.

"We are willing to discuss the matter of letting us subdue the Song Dynasty."

"Will discuss it?" Li Fangfang finally felt a little hot in her voice, "You go back and tell your master, go to die!"

When those sent out heard this, their faces changed drastically. Li Fangfang stopped talking and took out the revolver and immediately knocked down the nearest one. Seeing Li Fangfang's ruthless move, the other people from Zhujiazhuang turned their heads and ran away, and they didn't even dare to take care of their companions who fell to the ground.

Li Fangfang put away her pistol and walked forward with a spear. With one shot, the guy who was churning in pain was the result of the guy who was in pain. She took a quick move and knew that the man had stabbed to death. Qin Mohuan felt something was wrong. He stuttered and asked, "Captain Li, this... this is..."

"Zhujiazhuang has been able to resist stubbornly until now, and there is no intention of surrendering sincerely. Keeping them is a disaster." Li Fangfang said while holding a spear in his hand. The team of the Second Company followed Li Fangfang and continued to move forward by Qin Mohuan.

After a fight, Qin Mohuan's murderous intent was vented a lot. Now, after hearing Li Fangfang's words, I felt like a gust of cold wind passed through my body and couldn't help but shiver. Qin Mohuan needed to be excited to have murderous intent. Now Li Fangfang has no feelings, and murder is just something that must be done to her, not a means of choosing to vent. Just this difference makes Qin Mohuan feel that she is already at a level far lower than Li Fangfang.

After pausing for a moment, Qin Mohuan tried his best to cheer up the little remaining fighting spirit and shouted to his subordinates: "Go forward!"

At this time, Qin Mohuan and Li Fangfang were not the only ones who entered Zhujiazhuang. Other companies had also entered Zhujiazhuang. After those musket troops entered Zhujiazhuang, gunfire quickly sounded loudly in the village.

However, Qin Mohuan suspected that the speed of the musket team's killing may not be very high. In addition to women and children, regardless of whether the men in Zhujiazhuang have weapons or have surrendered or not, the company under Li Fangfang's command would kill people except women and children. In just half an hour, Qin Mohuan's troops, who were following Li Fangfang's troops, saw that Li Fangfang's company had killed at least 200 people.

At this time, a group of Zhujiazhuang Zhuang Dings came to rescue or were driven away by other troops and fled here. When they met Li Fangfang's troops, more than a dozen people were killed. The remaining 50 or sixty people fled into a yard.

Li Fangfang ordered to surround the yard and then threw grenades into it. Not long after, the haystack in the yard was lit, and the entire yard was burned. Li Fangfang's troops just guarded the door and killed someone when they saw it coming out.

As the fire grew bigger and bigger, there was no voice in the yard. Only then did Li Fangfang order the troops to continue moving forward.

In Zhujiazhuang, with the battle, many places were ignited. The fire became increasingly large, and many places outside the owner's courtyard had already ignited raging fires. Qin Mohuan, who had begun to lose his fighting mood due to cruel killing, was confused, but suddenly thought of a question. He was a little confused before, why there were only earthen walls but no roofs in the maze of Zhujiazhuang? Now, if there were flammable roofs in Zhujiazhuang, if the people attacked Zhujiazhuang set fire, the situation would probably become the same as now.

Now the area where Zhujia Ding really lives has been burning. If the fire is not put out and the fire is allowed to spread, Zhujiazhuang will probably be completely burned.

At this time, various troops had eliminated the enemy and arrived in front of the Zhu family courtyard. The exterior wall of the courtyard was actually made of bricks, which was enough to show that the Zhu family, the former Marquis of the Han army, did have great financial resources. At least they had the power to force many people to contribute to the construction of the Zhu family's last fortress.

"Explode the wall!" Li Fangfang gave a cold order. The closer he approached the enemy's core, the colder Li Fangfang seemed.

Qin Mohuan next to him did not dare to confront him at all, and immediately said to his subordinates: "Dig a pit and explode the wall!"
