Dao Shisan, who was inspecting the corpse, walked over and whispered to Shen Lie: "Sir, these people... look like the remnants of the Fire Rabbit who escaped a few days ago."
Shen Lie's face darkened and he nodded. An idea came to his mind and he said in a deep voice, "Is it the remnants of the Fire Rabbit who are here to seek revenge?"
Dao Shisan said firmly: "That's true."
Looking at the corpses of these Tatars, Shen Lie was thoughtful, but his eyes became dim.
The issue is……
The number of these remnants of the Fire Rabbit was neither too many nor too few. How could such a large group of remnants of the enemy directly cross the Great Wall defense line surrounded by the surrounding army?
He easily hid it from everyone's eyes and ears, and then found this place so accurately in the Xuanfu land with such complex terrain and with Ming troops from all walks of life gathered together.
Not to mention these people.
How did you get into this village disguised as an assassin?
Dao Shisan and several brothers also began to ponder on the side. If no one showed the way to these fire rabbit soldiers, they would even cooperate inside and outside.
Who believes it?
This is simply shocking!
Dao Sanshi and others seemed to have figured it out. They all had cold eyes, grinned and cursed, and found out that it was the turtle grandson who was up to something.
He must be cut into pieces!
And suddenly Shen Lie also realized. He suddenly understood how Emperor Yingzong and hundreds of thousands of Beijing troops were defeated at Tumubao not far away.
Can no one tip off the Wala people?
It's strange to say that after such a torment, I broke out in a hot sweat.
Shen Lie's fever has subsided.
"Walk!"
A wave of his hand.
Then he led a group of subordinates and walked outside the courtyard.
After a while.
On a low wall outside the large farm, Shen Lie knelt on one knee and crouched behind the crenel, observing the movements outside with a monocular telescope.
I saw a fire light up in the darkness not far away, someone lit a torch, there was a vague movement of soldiers and horses, and the neighing of war horses sounded from time to time.
Shen Lie frowned slightly and smiled coldly: "Are these all the remnants of the Fire Rabbit?"
What is the Fire Rabbit Tribe? He was defeated by someone under Shen Shen. He was like a bereaved dog. He was beaten to pieces just a few days ago, and even the clan leader was beheaded in Longquanyi.
How could a mere Fire Rabbit tribe gather so many troops in such a short period of time?
aside.
Ma Lin was stunned and said: "What do you mean..."
Shen Lie was silent.
If there were not some Ming troops among the soldiers and horses surrounding the village, no one would believe it. At this time, the faces of Governor Hu and General Li appeared in Shen Lie's mind.
"Hehehe."
Shen Lie was extremely angry and laughed back. Such a weird and bizarre thing could probably only be accomplished by the collusion of the governor and the general!
"well."
He called out two good words in a row.
Shen Lie again thought of those Tatars who were dressed as Ming army soldiers and served as the deputy general soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, bringing them back and forth freely in Datong, Xuanfu.
If those people took off their military uniforms and engaged in shady activities, would they be considered Tatar soldiers or Ming soldiers?
When the Longqing Peace Conference granted official posts to these Tatars, didn't the adults in the court think of these hidden dangers?
Shaked his head.
Shen Lie was amazed at the chaos and madness on all sides of the Ming Dynasty in this era. Is this an internal conflict within the Ming army or an external war?
Shen Lie was thinking deeply.
Dao Sanshi said fiercely from the side: "How to do it, please show me!"
Think about it.
Shen Lie looked at Ma Lin, and when he was about to speak, several muffled thunders suddenly sounded in the distance. After the rumble, several people came to their senses at the same time.
He roared fiercely.
"Anti-gun!"
As the whistling shells suddenly fell, they flew past the low village wall and landed in the large farmland in Zhuangzi. Several people lay on the ground under the guard of personal soldiers.
After a while, there were several more rumbling sounds.
The roar of cannons echoed through the sky.
After several rounds of shelling...
It was quiet for the time being outside the village. Shen Lie and the others climbed up from the wall of the village. Looking around, they saw that the village was in a mess.
Several buildings damaged by shells were in flames.
Thick smoke rose.
A large number of enemy soldiers holding torches formed a column, and several fire dragons moved from far to near, taking the opportunity to launch a crazy attack on Zhuangzi.
The soldiers guarding the wall also began to use their firearms, crossbows, and several small cannons to fight back, and there was a burst of muskets.
Fierce fighting broke out again.
Thanks to the complete defense facilities in this Dazhuangzi, Marin's elite troops who guarded the wall quickly repelled the enemy soldiers that surged up in the night.
In the diffuse smoke.
Shen Lie sat down with his back against the wall of the village, his mouth twitched slightly, and he said fiercely: "Is this also the Fire Rabbit Department?"
Does the Fire Rabbit Department have cannons?
Marin clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and looked at the houses in the village that had been destroyed by shells and the casualties, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
Although the enemy soldiers did not launch night attacks after that.
But Shen Lie and Ma Lin looked at each other with awe in their hearts, and looked at each other with a wry smile in perfect understanding. At this moment, they both knew each other well.
It's too dark.
The enemy's artillery was not very accurate, and it was good luck that it missed the wall. However, at dawn, a large group of enemy soldiers would inevitably launch an extremely crazy attack under the cover of the artillery.
Sighed.
Shen Lie smiled bitterly and said, "This time I really...have hurt Brother Ma."
A cold light flashed in Ma Lin's eyes, and he said displeasedly: "Sir Shen, you are serious. Ma was born in a general, and his father has been teaching him since he was a child. Ma's loyalty to the emperor and his country are as evident as the sun and the moon!"
Shen Lie felt relieved and praised: "I'm sorry, it was Shen who made a mistake."
The two looked at each other and smiled again, quite feeling as if they had met each other too late.
"Ha ha!"
A long laugh.
Shen Lie felt relieved in his heart. Life is like this. You will meet cunning and evil people, and naturally you will also meet like-minded friends.
Marin also laughed, then shouldered his matchlock gun and ran along the village wall, beginning to prepare for the bloody battle that would come after dawn.
Shen Lie leaned against the wall and rested for a moment. After thinking about it, he left the wall and walked quickly back to the back house, towards the house where Li Chang and his wife were recovering from their injuries.
Fortunately, these houses were not hit by the flying shells.
Li Susu was fine.
Shen Lie breathed a sigh of relief and walked into another room.
open the door.
Looking at Li Changshi who had woken up, Shen Lie could not help but feel pleasantly surprised and hurriedly walked over in three steps and two steps at a time.
Looking at the female head of the Pingyao Escort Agency, Shen Lie was filled with gratitude and hurriedly said: "Shen will always bear in mind the life-saving grace of the Chief Escort Chief."
Kindness without saying thanks.
Any thanks are in vain.
Although Li Changshi was very weak, she still showed a smile and said softly: "Your Majesty's words are serious, I cannot live up to my words."
Time is running out.
Chatted with Li Changshi for a few words and watched her close her eyes and fall asleep.
Shen Lie walked out of the room, called Li Chaohua over again, and told him to take the injured bodyguard, Fanzi, and the couple into the cellar to hide.
Think about it.
Shen Lie wanted to write a letter home, but he hesitated, so he took out his tiger head waistband and gave it to Li Chaohua.
He was told that if he could escape this disaster, he could go to Shen Mansion in the capital and send a message.
