The two sides were getting closer and closer. When the distance was less than twenty feet, Li Jizu immediately ordered, "Stop, aim at the archer, and kill!"
The soldiers immediately stopped together, divided themselves into five teams, raised their hands and shot at the archers on the opposite side.
"Bang bang bang~"
There was a sound like firecrackers, one team emptied the bomb nest, and the next team immediately replaced it.
In an instant, flowers of blood burst out from Pan Fu's archers, and they fell to the ground with a painful sound. Many of them didn't even have a chance to roll, and after falling to the ground, they could no longer breathe.
In just one confrontation, Pan Fu suffered over a hundred casualties.
Zuolun's first collective appearance in Ming Dynasty shocked the audience instantly.
Pan Fu was even more frightened by such a ferocious firearm and couldn't help but retreat repeatedly. He didn't know that it was because of his retreat that everyone who still had a little courage suddenly fell to the bottom of their hearts.
Even the leader was afraid of death, so how could they have the courage to face such a fierce opponent? Pan Fu promised them countless benefits, so they would take such a huge risk and go on this trip with Pan Fu.
But if the cost is to make them lose their lives, then of course they will not agree. After all, no matter how many benefits Pan Fu promises, they must live to enjoy it.
These people immediately retreated. Some even looked like they were facing the officers and soldiers, but their steps were retreating.
There are those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and there are those who are die-hard and die-hard. The servants under Zhao Zhen who are engaged in private salt business are real desperadoes. Even if they see the officers and soldiers being extremely ferocious, they still have the courage to shoot arrows at them
He even rushed forward desperately, trying to block the officers and soldiers.
Li Jizu was extremely experienced on the battlefield. The moment Pan Fu retreated, he immediately noticed it. He immediately shouted: "They retreated, rush forward and kill them all!"
The elites of the Shanzi Camp had never paid attention to the mob on the opposite side, but now they heard that they were defeated in a single blow. Their spirits were instantly lifted, as if they had been given a shot of blood, and they rushed towards the opposite side with great momentum.
Han Du had already been carrying a revolver in each hand, but just now he was surrounded by soldiers and had no chance to use it.
Now, as the gap between them widens, Handu also has a chance to kill the enemy. Stand firm, aim, calculate the advance amount, and pull the trigger, "Bang!"
A blood flower bloomed from the chest of the person opposite, and he fell down in response.
Pan Fu panicked, especially when he saw that even the fierce salt gangsters under Zhao Zhen could not stop the officers and soldiers in the slightest, his face turned pale.
"Stop them, stop them" Pan Fu roared loudly, his hands pointing at the officers and soldiers could not help but tremble.
Pan Fu suddenly shouted: "Kill, kill an officer and soldier, I will reward you with a hundred taels of silver! No, I will reward you with a thousand taels!"
Such a huge reward instantly made the eyes of these rabble turn red, and they really wanted money or their lives and rushed forward.
However, under the intensive firepower, the charge by Pan Fu and others was useless. Apart from adding another corpse to the ground, it was of no use at all.
On the other hand, Li Jizu's side was really impressive.
Even if General Pan Fu's reward rose to 10,000 taels of silver for killing one person in a short period of time, it could not stop Li Jizu at all.
Finally, Li Jizu took the lead to penetrate Pan Fu's formation. Apart from Pan Fu and others, there was no one in front of him.
At this time, no matter how much Pan Fu shouted for a large reward, and even increased the reward to an unprecedented one hundred thousand taels of silver for killing a person, no one dared to come forward.
Because everyone who dared to stand in front of Li Jizu and others has now turned into corpses on the ground. And from the beginning to the end, no one was able to kill a single officer or soldier.
Who cares about the reward when they know it is impossible? No matter how much the reward is, you can't get it anyway, so what's the use?
The gangsters were accustomed to taking advantage of the situation. Seeing that Pan Fu had no hope anymore, no one was willing to stay here and die with him. The gangsters around him fled in all directions, and in just a few breaths, they were all gone.
.
In this battle, Li Jizu led his troops and easily killed nearly 600 enemies and wounded more than 1,000 people. The rest fled, and Pan Fu, Zhao Zhen and others were captured on the spot.
Although this battle was won, it was really painful for Han Du. Almost all the bullets he carried were used up.
Tie Pan Fu and others into a string with ropes and bring them back to the moat.
Han Du stared intently at the top of the tower and shouted loudly: "Open the door!"
On the city gate tower, everyone's eyes were turned towards the guard Wu Zong, waiting for his decision.
Everything just happened was seen by them, it was so shocking!
Fifty people versus thousands of people. Originally, they all thought that the Imperial Envoy and his entourage were doomed. However, they did not expect that the result was completely opposite to what they expected. The Imperial Envoy was not only alive and well
, and he was also a big thief, which put Wu Zong in an extremely embarrassing position.
If all the imperial envoys and his entourage were dead, then he would naturally be able to deduce three, six, and five. But now the imperial envoy and his entourage are still alive, which makes him have to face a fatal problem, that is, he did not follow the imperial envoy and his entourage out of the city to attack the bandits.
Instead, watch from the sidelines.
If the Imperial Envoy investigates him, he will not be able to escape his involvement.
It was difficult for Wu Zong to make up his mind, but when he saw the faces of the people around him gradually changing, he knew that he could not delay it any longer. If he delayed it any longer, these people would probably tie him up and send him to the Imperial Envoy to claim credit.
.
"Open the door~" Wu Zong sighed with extreme reluctance. As long as this door was opened, he would become a piece of meat on the chopping board of the Imperial Envoy, but he had to open it.
As the winch rotated, the moat was slowly lowered, and finally with a loud bang, it lay across the moat.
Han Du was about to step onto the city bridge, but was suddenly pulled by Li Jizu.
Li Jizu held Han Du with one hand, waved at the other soldiers with the other, and shouted: "Cross the bridge!"
After the soldiers escorted Pan Fu and others across the city bridge, Li Jizu pulled Han across the bridge.
Han Du couldn't help but nod, secretly praising Li Jizu's carefulness. Although the county guard had maintained neutrality just now, no one knew what he was thinking now.
According to common sense, now that he has won a great victory, the other party cannot be disadvantageous to him. However, there are no absolutes in the world, and Li Jizu's caution is very necessary.
As Han Du and others walked to the city gate, heavy creaking sounds were heard, and the city gate was slowly opened.
When the city gate opened, Wu Zong was the first to rush forward and knelt down in front of Han Du, "General Wu Zong, pay your respects to the imperial envoy."
Han Du looked at this man coldly. After all, Wu Zong was tall and strong, and he looked powerful at first glance. However, he did not expect that under his rough face, there were many hidden thoughts.
As the guard of Liyang County, Wu Zong could not have known anything about the activities of Pan Fuliang and others. However, he chose to conceal it and not report it. For this reason alone, he could not escape his involvement.
What's more, when Han Du asked him to close the city gate to prevent Pan Fu and others from entering the county, he chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb. From this point of view, it is difficult for Han Du to think that there is no relationship between him and Pan Fu.
.
Han Du glanced at Wu Zong intently, and immediately waved his hand suddenly, "Take it!"
two
The soldiers obeyed the order and stepped forward to capture Wu Zong.
Wu Zong lowered his head and did not expect that the imperial envoy would want to arrest him so ruthlessly. When he thought about it, after Liyang County experienced this incident, it was the time when people needed to be stabilized. And he, Wu Zong, was responsible for guarding the city.
Even if the imperial envoy knew what was going on, he would most likely turn a blind eye and let him go for the time being.
If he could keep his attitude lower and try his best to assist the Imperial Envoy, then maybe you could let him make up for his mistakes and spare him this time.
Wu Zong did not expect that the imperial envoy would directly capture him without giving him any face.
"My lord, what do you mean by this?" Wu Zong stopped pretending and stood up directly from the ground, taking a few steps back and retreating into his soldiers.
"Yes, sir, what do you mean by this? Our general came here to greet you with good intentions, why did he arrest our general instead?" Someone stood up next to Wu Zong and said loudly. It was like the imperial envoy's move, which made Wu Zong suffer a great deal.
The same grievance.
Han Du shouted at the soldiers on the left and right: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you capture him quickly?"
Then he looked at Wu Zong and said, "Whether you are guilty or not, you know best in your heart. If you are wise, you can just wait for the emperor to punish you. I can still intercede for you."
Wu Zong suddenly hesitated, and it was difficult for him to make a decision for a while.
At this moment, Pan Fu, whose hands were tied with ropes, burst out laughing and said: "Wu Zong, you took ten thousand taels of silver from me, do you still think that this dog official will let you go? Why don't you kill him quickly?"
Now, save me and you will have a way to survive."
Ten thousand taels? Han Du couldn't help but look at Wu Zong. This appetite was really not small. At the same time, he also understood that as Pan Fu said these words, Wu Zong had no choice and immediately took out the revolver.
When Wu Zong heard Pan Fu's words, he immediately knew something was wrong. He ordered without hesitation, "Kill!"
Following Wu Zong's order, the guards immediately became polarized. Those around Wu Zong were obviously his loyalists. The moment they heard his order, they raised their swords and rushed towards Han Du and others. And the others
The soldiers retreated hastily, fearing that they would be involved in this incident.
"Bang~bang!" There were two loud noises, and the two soldiers who rushed forward were knocked to the ground by Han Du.
The other soldiers also reacted and immediately took out their revolvers and started to fight back.
The number of confidants who obeyed Wu Zong's orders was only thirty or forty people.
In an instant, most of the Shanzi camp elites were killed and wounded, and the rest were also arrested, including Wu Zong.
