When the execution order was given, the executioner immediately walked up to the prisoner, took off the beheading sign inserted on the back of Dai Zhongying's neck, took a bowl of wine and slowly poured it on the ghost head sword, then raised the knife high and aimed at it.
Dai Zhongying's neck will be chopped off.
When watching a murder at Caishikou, you can see the moment when the body and head are separated. When the executioner raises his ghost-headed knife, the onlookers around him squeeze forward desperately, and those who cannot be seen behind jump up and scramble to be the first.
I want to witness this exciting and bloody scene.
Suddenly a sharp whistle sounded, and a loud arrow shot through the air, hitting the executioner's temple, killing him immediately. The whistle was an order, and the death squad members of the Heaven and Earth Society, who had long been unable to hold back, rushed quickly.
Go to the carriage, firewood pile, and groceries where weapons are hidden, draw your sword and fight towards the execution ground. Above the tea house, Daiwen Peijiao, who has just fired the crossbow, screamed, jumped directly from the second floor, and stepped on the groceries stall downstairs.
The tarpaulin rushed straight to the center of the market entrance.
The situation suddenly changed, and the execution officials were frightened and overwhelmed. The soldiers guarding the execution ground were also in chaos. No one paid attention to the prisoners kneeling on the open ground. They fled in panic, and the heroes did not chase them.
, just going to save people, Dai Wenpei rushed to his father's side and slashed the shackles with a sword that was as sharp as clay. The others also hurriedly smashed the shackles of Dai Tietanzhuang.
"Dad, how are you?" Dai Wenpei asked with tears in his eyes. Dai Zhongying's shackles were quickly opened. On the old man's scarred face, a pair of eyes suddenly opened and he snatched them off at an extremely fast speed.
Dai Wenpei put the dagger in her hand on her neck and shouted loudly: "The rebels are still not beheaded!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of killing was loud all around. A large number of officers and soldiers in civilian clothes gathered around and fought with the heroes of the Tiandihui. The heroes were surprised to find that the weapons in their hands broke when they touched them. In the blink of an eye, several people were killed.
He was cut down by the officers and soldiers. This operation was arranged by Song Ziyue. Why were the weapons he prepared for everyone so fragile? No one had time to question Song Ziyue, so they could only fight with the officers and soldiers with their bare hands.
Only then did Dai Wenpei realize that this man with messy gray hair was not his father, but a court eagle dog about the same size as Dai Zhongying. This man was very skilled in martial arts and was unexpected, so he was cured immediately.
Dai Wenpei, as for the other people in Daijiazhuang, there are no impostors, but they are all surrounded now and no one can escape.
The scene was very chaotic, but the two groups were clearly distinguishable. The Tiandihui members all had red cloth strips on their arms, and the officers and soldiers had black belts on their heads. Although the heroes of the Tiandihui refused to take advantage of them, their martial arts skills were much higher than those of the officers and soldiers.
After snatching away the swords and guns of the officers and soldiers, they gained the upper hand. The real idlers who were watching the excitement were so frightened that they squatted in the corner and held their heads, not daring to look around.
The person who restrained Dai Wenpei was an officer from the Ministry of Punishment who was highly skilled in martial arts. As for the real Dai Zhongying, he was still in prison. This guy had already threatened to hold Dai Wenpei in order to get the members of the Heaven and Earth Society to use rat weapons, but he forgot about Dai Wenpei.
Wen Pei's nickname is the Thousand-Hand Guanyin. The little girl is full of hidden weapons. A few flying needles pop out at random to counter her. At this time, Song Ziyue has already led his people to drive down. He will kick the impersonating Dai Zhong.
Ying's officer kicked him away and asked Dai Wenpei with concern: "Are you okay?"
"We've been ambushed, what should we do?" Dai Wenpei asked anxiously. His father was being impersonated, and there were so many officers and soldiers ambushing him around. It was obvious that the plan was known, but Dai Wenpei and others could not find out what happened. The matter was related to Song Ziyue.
"Maybe we were betrayed by Liu Ziguang. Come with me." Song Ziyue grabbed Dai Wenpei's hand and was about to rush outside, but Dai Wenpei broke away. He turned around and helped his injured brother Dai Wenlong up and picked him up. The short sword said: "Since we are ambushed, where are we going to escape? Why not fight them!"
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of horse hooves in the direction of Xuanwumen. A group of cavalry rushed over at lightning speed. All the pedestrians on the road had fled away. The horses' hoofs beat on the stone road like a storm. This was the most elite Zhenghuang Banner cavalry camp, with tall horses and strong bows. Hard crossbows, spears and halberds, even people with good martial arts skills can hardly resist this iron flow. Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, the plainclothes infantry officers retreated one after another, leaving the battlefield to the Xiaoqi Battalion and the riders of the Xiaoqi Battalion. They rushed over on horseback. The Tiandihui people were unable to dodge and were knocked over. Later, several people were knocked over by spears. The rest relied on the buildings on both sides of the street to avoid being trampled by the horses, and took the opportunity to attack the cavalry. However, it was difficult for the swords in their hands to cause damage to the heavy cavalry wearing full armor. Only Daiwenpei's various hidden weapons were specialized in facing the enemy, and only a few cavalry were used.
The Caishikou area was in chaos. At least four to five hundred people from the Tiandihui came, but they all fought independently without unified command. Many people were killed or injured in the melee. The remaining people gradually gathered around Juyou Tea House, relying on The buildings were protected from cavalry attacks. The Cavalry Battalion was a heavily armored cavalry group that was not good at street fighting. The infantry were poorly trained and would end up dead if they tried to attack them. A stalemate was formed for a while.
Sir Dutong Shi Lun had already arrived at Caishikou with a group of counselors and escorts. He looked coldly at the trapped heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society and ordered: "The Shenji Battalion is dispatched."
With the command flag waving, the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion receded like a tide, and then two hundred tall soldiers wearing infantry armor came over in a neat long formation and stopped dozens of steps away from the door of Juyou Teahouse. Under the command, they picked up the firecrackers in their hands. Their firecrackers were different from the firecrackers used by the Red Shirt Regiment. They were backward weapons that used match ropes to light the medicine pool and drive the bullets to fire. At first, the senior officials of the imperial court asked Liu Ziguang for the firecrackers. For self-defense, Liu Ziguang had someone specially make a batch of backward matchlock blunderbuss for them. The British Duke Zhang Jun presented short matchlock blunderbuss to Sumalagu. After Sumalagu returned to China, he asked people from the Ministry of Industry to imitate this weapon. The long and short matchlock guns came out, which were far inferior to the firearms from the south in terms of convenience and power. Of course, they were still enough to deal with people in the world.
"Let go!" The officer waved his sword, and after a loud noise, the queue of Shenji Battalion was shrouded in smoke. The lead bullets, which were far more powerful than bows and arrows, penetrated the thin door panels and screen windows of the tea house, beating the heroes hiding behind. He screamed, and several people were killed and injured immediately.
While the gunmen were reloading, other soldiers from the Shenji Battalion launched a new round of shooting with bows and arrows. The power of strong bows and crossbows at close range was not small. Hundreds of heroes crowded into the teahouse, and it was very difficult for them to do so. It was difficult to dodge, so I could only use tables and chairs to protect my body.
The clear troops from the brigade were rushing towards Caishikou like a tide. No ordinary people could be seen on the whole street. They were all soldiers armed to the teeth, Eight Banners soldiers, Green Camp soldiers, Shuntian Prefecture officials, densely packed in the street.
They are all under the command of Shi Lun Dutong. Today's task is to eliminate the rebels of the Heaven and Earth Society.
"Master Fu, the spy is still inside, what do you think we should do?" an officer asked.
"The thief has been surrounded and his mission has been completed. What else is left to do? Send the order and kill all the rebels!" Shi Lun was a veteran. He was used to seeing blood on the battlefield. He slaughtered hundreds of thieves before his eyes.
It's just a trivial matter.
The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion pointed the muzzle of their gun to the sky, took out a gourd and poured some gunpowder into it, then loaded it with lead shot and tamped it down with a rod. Only then was the loading completed. In this time, they could shoot three or four arrows.
Well, I really don’t know what the people in the Military Aircraft Department think about it. No matter how powerful the weapon is, the rate of fire must be considered. Although Schlen is very satisfied with the power of the gun, he still opposes the large-scale equipping of troops with this weapon.
However, another weapon produced by the Military Aircraft Department satisfied him very much, and that was the bomb!
The grenadiers of the Shenji Battalion held a torch in one hand and a round iron ball in the other. These iron balls were filled with gunpowder and iron slag, and a twister protruded from them. They could be lit with a torch and then thrown into the enemy formation. They were very lethal.
It's huge. If these grenadiers throw it together, the heroes gathered at the Friends Tea House will turn into a pile of rotten meat in a moment.
"Ready~~~fire!" There was another burst of firecrackers, and two hundred lead bullets were shot into the teahouse, followed by countless bombs thrown in through the broken windows. Although the heroes did not know the power of the bombs, they saw this smoking
They knew it was not a good thing, so they picked it up and threw it back.
This is the first time that the Shenji Battalion has used firecrackers and bombs. There are still some rules for using firecrackers, but the bombs are a bit messy when thrown. The detonation time of this thing varies according to the length of the twister, and the ignition time of the twister
It is difficult to ensure uniformity. Even if the length is the same, there will be an error of one or two seconds. No grenadier dares to hold the bomb in his hand until it is almost burned out before throwing it out. This detail caused huge losses to the Shenji Battalion and was thrown into the teahouse.
The bombs burned out when they were thrown back, and the bombs exploded in the crowd, causing countless casualties. Of course, the people in the tea house didn't get anything good to eat, and the bombs that weren't thrown back also exploded into a bloody disaster.
Shenji Battalion is an elite soldier. They immediately realized their mistake and reorganized their team to take out bombs and prepare to continue throwing. The heroes were dumbfounded. The power of this weapon was really terrifying. Sooner or later, they would all be killed if they dropped it. However,
Forcibly breaking out of the encirclement was not an option. There were so many muskets and bows and arrows waiting for them outside, as well as thousands of officers and soldiers, and the tall Beijing city wall. It seemed that everyone was really going to take charge here this time.
The leader, Song Ziyue, was also at a loss. The imperial court was trying to kill the donkey. He finally managed to attract all the active forces of the Tiandihui to make dumplings for them, but why did he become the stuffing of the dumplings? Now he can't break out of the encirclement.
No, neither did he surrender. He was so anxious that he was spinning upstairs.
"Why are you afraid of him? People are dead and birds are in the air. Kill one to earn enough money. Kill two to earn one. Grandpa fought with them today!"
"Yes! Let's fight! Rather than being blown up to death in the house, it's better to rush out and kill!"
The heroes were excited, and these reckless heroes became even more heroic when facing death. However, most of them didn't even have weapons, so they could only die if they rushed out!
At this critical moment, suddenly a team of fast horses came rushing from the direction of the inner city. All they saw was a dazzling yellow color and a splash of yellow mantles. It seemed that someone from the palace must be here.
"Wait a minute and attack." Shi Lun asked his men to pause. He thought that maybe the palace had changed its mind and wanted a few survivors.
