The escort company commander sneered and looked back at the battalion commander.
The battalion commander had been behind him just now, but after experiencing the Battle of Zhuangzhuanggou and fighting with the regular troops of the Dangxiang Army, in the eyes of the battalion commander, Mr. Chen was just a bumpkin, and the battalion commander was too lazy to shout at him at the top of his lungs.
Too cheap.
Seeing the company commander turn back, the battalion commander nodded slightly.
"Fuck them to death for me!"
The company commander raised his hand and fired a loud arrow into the sky.
The bodyguards who had been prepared for a long time removed the straw covering the heavy crossbows, and the catapults inside the wall also released their insurances.
A few seconds later, rows of heavy crossbow arrows roared into the private soldiers.
After all, Master Chen was not a serious general, and he never expected that the "bandits" actually had heavy crossbows. In order to put pressure on the enemy, he deliberately gathered his private soldiers and stood in the open space, which made them look more imposing.
Now, the private soldiers lined up have become living targets in front of the heavy crossbows.
The arrows of the heavy crossbow are like skewers of candied haws. One arrow can pierce several soldiers.
What's even more terrible is that the catapults were also started shortly after, and the burning jars of kerosene roared and smashed into the reed swamps.
The dry reeds caught fire instantly, and with the help of kerosene, the reeds burned into a sea of fire in just a few minutes.
After a round of kerosene attacks, the bodyguards began throwing grenades again.
For a moment, the sound of explosions was heard incessantly, and the private soldiers hiding in the reeds were so frightened that they rushed out howling miserably. The escorts in the open space were also frightened by the heavy crossbows and ran back crazily.
The entire battlefield fell into chaos.
"How could this happen? Why do they have heavy crossbows?"
Mr. Chen was completely dumbfounded.
Each of the aristocratic families seems to be sanctimonious, but in fact they are very fierce in fighting with each other.
Ever since he knew that all the granaries of the Xie family were being targeted, Mr. Chen thought that the perpetrators were other aristocratic families, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the world to find a group of bandits to seize the Xie family's territory.
This has happened before.
More than ten years ago, the He family in Jiangnan was rising rapidly. They also coveted the Xie family's territory, and caused several troubles overtly and covertly.
Mr. Chen was prepared for a tough battle before he came.
But Mr. Chen is not afraid. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. After all, this is the territory of the Xie family. Our number is several times that of the opponent. Even if the opponent is able to fight, he can't fight several of them, right?
As a result, the battle has just begun, and the other side has dispersed without even showing up.
Where do the bandits have heavy catapults and grenades?
Where are the bandits with such a strong sense of fighting?
Where are the bandits here?
Now someone told Mr. Chen that these people were imperial guards, and Mr. Chen believed them.
No, the Guardsmen don't have heavy catapults and grenades either!
This is the unique weapon and combat method of Zhenyuan Escort Agency!
Thinking of this, Mr. Chen suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning!
The person seizing the granary in front of me is the Zhenyuan Escort Agency!
"It's over!" Mr. Chen was heartbroken!
Ordinary private soldiers may not know about the Far Far East Escort Agency, but as one of the grain merchants trained by the Xie family, Mr. Chen cannot possibly not know about the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
In fact, last year, when Tang Xiaobei came to Jiangnan to collect grain, he was one of the grain merchants who took the lead in making things difficult.
If other aristocratic families come to seize the territory, they still have room for resistance and negotiation, but when they encounter the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, they may not even have a chance to beg for mercy!
As much as the people support the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, the rich and powerful families hate it.
Ever since the day Jin Feng announced that he would attack local tyrants to divide their land, the two sides have been in a fight to the death.
After thinking about this, Mr. Chen turned his horse and prepared to run away.
But as soon as the horse turned around, a heavy crossbow arrow roared towards him, and Mr. Chen flew straight out!
The fighting did not stop because of Master Chen's death, it still continued.
Most of the private soldiers trained by grain merchants were desperadoes. To bandits and government soldiers, they were terrifying, but to the heavily armed bodyguards, they were just a bunch of rabble.
The battle didn't last long before it was over.
Because the two sides were not on the same level at all, the soldiers were completely blindsided and had no power to fight back!
Seeing that the fighting was almost over, the battalion commander ordered the escort to stop the attack and shouted to persuade them to surrender.
After all, private soldiers are also descendants of Yan and Huang, and the later development of Jiangnan also requires strong labor, so Jin Feng does not want to kill them all.
What's more, since the grain needs to be transported to Sichuan and Sichuan next, these private soldiers are ready-made free labor.
The private soldiers had been beaten to pieces long ago. When they heard the shouting, they rushed to throw away their weapons and knelt on the ground waiting to be dealt with.
Outside the reed marsh, the spy sent by the Xie family saw that the battle was over, turned around and ran away.
…
The Xie family prides themselves on being a scholarly family. There are many rules within the family, and one of them is to work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
At night, there are few people in the village, and everyone goes to bed early.
But that night, the lights in the Xie family's ancestral home were brightly lit, and the Xie family members were full of people sitting in the ancestral hall.
The old head of the Xie family, who had always been calm and calm, could no longer maintain his composure at this time. He sat on the main seat with a dark face and listened to the report of his subordinates.
"Father, those who robbed the granary were not bandits at all, but the Zhenyuan Escort Agency!"
The head of the Xie family said angrily: "Jin Feng is really going too far. Last year he even knew how to spend money to buy grain, but this year he directly sent people to rob it. Does he still have laws and morality in his eyes?"
Catapults, heavy crossbows and grenades are the representative weapons of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau. Even Mr. Chen can guess the identity of the escort, let alone the Xie family members? Reading La
"Jin Feng goes too far!"
"Ancestor, let's go to Sichuan and ask Jin Feng for an explanation!"
The Xie clan was also very angry.
Not only Master Chen's army was wiped out, but so were the other granaries.
In order to stockpile grain, the Xie family drew a large amount of money. If this batch of grain was lost, the Xie family would also be devastated.
The grain merchants and private soldiers they had managed to cultivate were completely destroyed by the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau.
Nowadays, the current situation is turbulent, and Jiangnan is even more chaotic. Without food and private soldiers to protect them, the Xie family is just a group of weak scholars with no power.
And he is a weak scholar sitting on a mountain of gold and silver.
"Shut up, everyone!"
The old man knocked the table hard with his cane and scolded: "What's the use of getting angry here? Who just said that he was going to Sichuan and Sichuan to ask Jin Feng for an explanation? Stand up and let me take a look. I will see you off tomorrow.
!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the huge ancestral hall immediately became silent.
The Xie clan members were so noisy just now that they were scared to go to Sichuan and Sichuan.
In the eyes of the powerful family, Jin Feng is a demon king who kills without blood. When he went to Sichuan and Sichuan to question Jin Feng, wasn't he a rat licking a cat's face and seeking his own death? wp
"Since you don't dare to go, stop shouting!"
The old head of the family said coldly: "When you encounter a problem, you have to find a way to solve it. Losing your temper at home is incompetent!"
"Father, do you have any countermeasures?"
The head of the house asked expectantly.
Hearing this, the other Xie clan members also raised their heads and looked at their old master.
