Liu Ziguang nimbly dodged the incoming arrows and was the first to hit the front row of the phalanx. A row of spears came towards him. He swung his sword and struck hard. The huge force shocked the spearmen's jaws and made them unable to hold their weapons.
Liu Ziguang took the opportunity to make a sweeping strike. The chainmails of the guards in front of him were cut through, and their stomachs and intestines were broken. It was terrible. Blood spurted onto Liu Ziguang's face and body, and his clothes were red. The long knife was pinned to the heart of the last person.
On the mirror, Liu Ziguang stepped on the man's corpse and pulled it hard. The long knife with many gaps was pulled out, and blood dripped down the blade. The surrounding guards were horrified and hurriedly retreated. A gap appeared in the square array.
.
Zhamuhe and other three brothers also arrived. The four of them swung their weapons, like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves across the square. Wherever they went, there was a rain of blood. The guards retracted their wings and pointed the four brothers at the muzzle of the crossbow.
Suddenly, there was a sound of mechanical transmission, and thick arrows were shot over, but Liu Ziguang chopped them all down in mid-air. The guards next to the crossbow were stunned in shock.
The four of them temporarily attracted the firepower of the crossbows, and the slave army behind them took the opportunity to surge up. After all, they were so large that they rushed the guards to pieces in an instant. The guards who used to bully the slaves were now beaten three times by the slaves.
A group of five people were pressed to the ground, punched, kicked, slashed and stabbed with swords and spears. After a while, the structure of the slave camp guard team of the Liguo Iron Works ceased to exist.
The revenged slaves howled like wolves, the long-lost fighting atmosphere filled the ranks, and the slaves equipped with captured weapons rushed out of the camp gate.
Zhamuhe snatched a horse from nowhere, and using his skillful riding skills, he stood on the saddle and ran to the front of the team, shouting to everyone: "Brothers, rush to the north gate together. Once you rush out, you will be free!" Just now!
Liu Ziguang had already told him that there were official cavalry outside the south gate and he could not go there to seek death. Only by rushing out of the north gate and fleeing north could he escape from the iron factory's sphere of influence and escape from the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
There were two forces fighting in the city, and now a huge new force suddenly joined, making the situation even more chaotic. Many fighting troops were scattered. The slave army snatched many weapons and followed their idol——Super
He rushed behind Liu Ziguang and headed straight to the north gate.
Liu Ziguang slashed all the way and was already covered in blood. When he passed through the city, he saw the parliament building. The towering parliament building was also filled with the sound of killing and the shadow of swords and swords. He couldn't help but look around, and then turned back resolutely, leading the group of slaves.
Rush to the north gate.
The north gate is the top priority for the defense of the iron factory, because the north is the front line, and less than a hundred miles ahead is the border of the Qing Dynasty. Although there are border troops defending, there is no guarantee that the Qing army will not sneak attack. You know, the Qing Dynasty's attack on the iron factory
A piece of pig iron. Fatty, who produced a huge amount of weapons, had already planned it. Therefore, there must be a lot of defensive troops at the north gate, and they must be equipped with many powerful tactical weapons like chariots and crossbows.
As we got closer and closer to the north gate, a strong smell of blood filled the air, making the silent tower look even more eerie.
The North Gate was close at hand, but no one appeared. Liu Ziguang, who was running at the front, raised his right hand to signal the people behind him to stop. Although there were thousands of prisoners of war, there were no middle- or senior-level officers like Zhamuhe among them.
The centurion was already considered to have a high military rank. Now everyone among them knew Liu Ziguang, who was extremely brave in combat and took the initiative to take command, and no one raised any objections.
The chaotic team stopped under the orders of the slaves of each team. Everyone looked up at the tower of the north gate, "Look, there is blood on the horse path." A sharp-eyed slave shouted, and sure enough, the horse on the left side of the city wall
There were traces of blood on the road.
"Everyone forms a team to defend. Come and follow me to the city tower to put a few people on the drawbridge. Brother, take the people to open the city gate. Once the drawbridge is put down, we will fight out." We can't worry about that much at this juncture. Let's get out of the city first. Liu Ziguang took Anthony and waited for a few seconds.
Someone ran along the horse path and up the city wall to lower the drawbridge.
The city wall was in a mess, with corpses lying everywhere. There were people from the iron city defense, and there were also strong men in civilian clothes. Checking the strong men, they saw calluses on the tiger's mouth and sunken temples. It was obvious that they were used to handling weapons, and they were...
There were only a dozen strong men with strong martial arts skills, but there were hundreds of iron guards lying around them. Without taking a closer look, Liu Ziguang passed by the watchtower and looked sideways. He saw a large number of gray-faced people lying in the watchtower.
, Tie Wei, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, seemed to have died of poisoning.
Although Liu Ziguang was confused, he still couldn't think about it and hurried to the winch of the suspension bridge. There were more corpses around the winch. They were piled on top of each other. You can imagine the fierce battle to snatch the winch. When he came closer, he saw the winch.
There was a bloody man lying on his lower body. His helmet had fallen off, and his armor was in tatters. There were countless wounds, big and small, and there were more than a dozen crossbow arrows inserted into his body. Liu Ziguang knew this man, he was the guard of the North Gate.
General, I once met this man when I inspected the North Gate city defense with the eldest lady. He was a kind and kind man who was loyal and skilled in martial arts. He was also very polite to Liu Ziguang, who was born as a slave.
When the guard saw that the people coming were Liu Ziguang and a few people dressed as slaves, he moved his hand holding the knife, but weakly let go. "Manager Liu, go and save the eldest lady. There are spies from the Qing Dynasty in the inner house. They poisoned them to death."
Brothers, we still want to seize the pass and present the city." Every time the guard said a word, black blood flowed from his mouth, which seemed extremely difficult, "The spy is..." Before he finished speaking, he tilted his head and stopped moving.
.
Anthony stepped forward and touched the guard's neck, and said to Liu Ziguang: "He's dead."
"Stop talking, do you think you are making a movie?" Liu Ziguang was so angry that he shook his hands and saw a good show. The officers and soldiers of Xuzhou Prefecture, the iron factory rebels, the slave riot army, and now a group of people from the Qing Dynasty were added.
There are also five types of people loyal to the eldest lady. The forces from all directions gathered at the Liguo Iron Works.
This muddy water cannot be crossed. The slave army is the weakest. It is better to run quickly. They hurriedly moved the winch and lowered the suspension bridge. The rumble of the gate opening was also heard from below the city. The suspension bridge had just dropped to the bank of the moat.
The slaves shouted and rushed out. Zhamuhe rushed out first, turned his horse and looked back at the city, "Second brother, fourth brother, the eagle can soar in the blue sky again, let's go."
Liu Ziguang shouted to the people in the city: "You go first, I will catch up later. I still owe a favor to the city and I have to pay it back!" Zhamuhe laughed loudly: "I owe you a favor to the girl, okay! I value friendship!"
We are going north, you can follow the tracks." After saying that, he rode up and chased the group.
Anthony also patted Liu Ziguang's shoulder ambiguously and said: "Grab the woman you like and take her with you. We will wait for you." After that, he led the people down to the city.
Liu Ziguang stood on the city wall and looked back at the iron factory city. Black smoke was everywhere, and the sound of killings was loud. It seemed that an attack on the city had begun at the south gate. The workers of the iron factory also picked up semi-finished weapons in the workshop to guard their homes. There were everywhere
There were sporadic battles, and the most intense place was the council building in the middle of the city.
"Miss, I'm here." Liu Ziguang took a deep breath and went straight to the direction of the meeting building.
In the council building, the two sides were confronting each other. Both Yu Hualong and the eldest lady knew very well that the thief should be captured first, so the two parties were entangled in a constant fight. The inner house guards brought by the second lady only had a small number of men, because
Some of them were taken out by Hu Xianjue to search for Liu Ziguang, and some were left to guard the inner house. Under the leadership of Song Qingfeng, these guards fought a fierce battle with Yu Hualong's elite tooth guards. Both sides suffered injuries. Now Yu Hua
Long's rebels were driven out of the council building and surrounded downstairs.
Yu Hualong was sitting in the gatehouse below the parliament building, with order soldiers and flag officers running around like a revolving lantern, constantly reporting various military situations.
"Report...to capture the inner house."
"Report...to capture the steelworks area."
"The Lianfeng armory could not be attacked for a long time, and our army suffered heavy casualties."
"Report...the fierce battle continues at the south gate."
"Report... There was a riot in the slave camp, and all the guards died in the battle."
"Report...there was something unusual at the north gate, and the slaves broke through the north gate and left."
Listening to the various news coming one after another, Yu Hualong's calm face did not change at all. The situation in the city was already clear to his mind. This bunch of trash from Xuzhou Mansion didn't even bring siege equipment. They were just here to pick up the bargains.
Thank you for your credit. After taking down the iron factory, my strength has been almost exhausted. If Huang Zhifu suddenly attacks, it will be a bit troublesome. There are also the gang of slaves who took advantage of the fire and escaped from the city. I really don't know the guards at the north gate.
What does the army do for food? But it's good to save yourself the trouble of sending people to deal with them.
"Come here, call me and ask the people upstairs to surrender, or I will attack with fire." Yu Hualong ordered. A soldier with a loud voice walked to the building and shouted loudly: "People upstairs, listen
Come on! Surrender quickly. When the fire ballista arrives, the meeting building will be on fire and everything will be destroyed."
The soldiers did not lie. The crossbows were already in place, and boxes of arrows with igniting pine oil were carried over. The rebels lit a bright lamp at the launch port of the crossbow, so that every time they fired
The arrows fired will automatically ignite the pine oil on the head, becoming a veritable rocket.
The brick and wood structure of the council building also contains a lot of wooden furniture, various flammable fabric decorations, curtains, and carpets. Once a fire breaks out, it will definitely be difficult to put out the fire. The secret passage back to the inner house has also been sealed, and now we can only fight to the death.
Resistance, hoping that reinforcements from outside will come to rescue,
"Dad, I don't know what's going on. The sound of fighting outside seems to be much quieter. It seems that the rebels have taken control of the situation. I am still too young to fight these old foxes." The eldest lady was very anxious.
At this moment, the heating supply also stopped, and the cold wind poured into the room through the broken windows. People in silk and satin uniforms shivered from the cold. A few people who were not determined heard the shouts below and turned pale with fear.
He looked at the eldest lady, hoping that the eldest lady could come up with a clever plan quickly.
Song Qingfeng inserted the blood-stained sword back into his waist. He took off his white fox fur collared cloak like a gentleman and wanted to put it on the eldest lady. He was politely refused and said, "Open all the gas pipes and seal the windows.
Call Yu Hualong to come up and negotiate!" the eldest lady said decisively.
There are lighting and gas pipes for heating everywhere in the iron factory. This by-product of steelmaking and coking has been fully utilized. When gathered in a small space, it can form explosive gases when mixed with air. The eldest lady knows this very well. She is ready to
It's all over the place.
"Yu Hualong will come up later. The space in the council building is limited. He will definitely not bring too many people. When the time comes, he will threaten him by exploding the council building and destroying them all, and then call on the deceived iron guards to rise up and put down the rebellion. There may be a chance of victory.
Young Master Song, I have really troubled you this time, and I need to rely on your martial arts to hold Hualong hostage. I would like to thank you in advance, the young lady." The eldest lady said lightly.
After hearing such a decisive plan, everyone looked at each other. Yang Meng, Lu Gaozhi and other guards turned their attention to Song Qingfeng. Song Qingfeng gave them a calm look and replied with a smile: "Miss Song is following her lead."
This little girl finally realized my importance. Song Qingfeng thought proudly. He is not afraid of the heavy siege outside. Firstly, he has the strength to fight out. Secondly, he only needs to wait a little longer.
, I’m afraid the owner of the iron factory is about to change again.
When Yu Hualong heard the reply from upstairs, he smiled slightly. The little girl was thinking of some tricks again, but all tricks are just a joke in the face of strength. I just got the battle report that the South Gate has been captured, and the garrison cavalry of Xuzhou Mansion is about to enter.
The city has been conquered, and half of the iron factory is in my hands. There are three or four layers of elite soldiers just below the meeting room, and they are completely surrounded. What am I afraid of you? Just go, I can't lose my prestige in front of this little girl.
Yu Hualong ordered thirty good men to follow him and entered the meeting building.
