Chapter 370: A battle between the protection armies and a verdict

"This..." Zeng Suo looked at the men behind him in despair, and then at the protective soldiers waiting for them in front. How could there be such a big gap between the teams that he thought were evenly matched?

I have heard before that the bandits on Liangshan Mountain are very powerful. If we really fight the bandits, can our team do it?

While he was thinking, the dozens of sparse militiamen behind him finally caught up with the protective army in front.

There were less than fifty steps away from the earthen wall of Kongjia Village. All these people were hiding in the bunker area outside the earthen wall. After observing the situation ahead, a company commander of the protection army nodded towards Zeng Suo.

He also nodded and organized the escort troops and militiamen to charge together.

As soon as the charge started, the teams on both sides that had been gathered together once again widened the gap in position.

The earth wall in front is only more than one meter high. You can climb it with just one jump. However, those who climb up the earth wall will first face the siege of a large number of villagers from Kongjiazhuang. Someone must be under the earth wall.

Give him fire support so that those who hit the wall don't dare to take the lead.

The soldiers of the protection army were organized into a squad, and each squad sent two to three wall climbers, while the remaining people organized cover and fire for them under the wall.

The militiamen here in Zengtou City also know such tactics, and they are not afraid of death. However, their tactical literacy is far behind that of the soldiers protecting the army.

This group of militiamen ran to the earth wall, but the musket soldiers behind them had not prepared their bullets yet, or they had fired one round of muskets and were in a hurry to reload under the tense environment of the battlefield, so the next round of guns was delayed.

Could not be sent.

The people under the earthen wall here hurriedly rushed up at night but could not get up. They became more and more anxious, and even the people who were cooperating on both sides started to quarrel.

Seeing their quarrel, the villagers from the Kong family on the wall picked up rolling logs and other objects and smashed them down. Several militiamen from Zengtou City were knocked down when they turned around and hesitated. Two or three of them were knocked down.

His head was broken and he was bleeding, and he couldn't survive.

While they were arguing, the soldiers of the protection army were already climbing up the wall one after another.

Zeng Suo, who was under the wall, saw this scene in his eyes and discovered the huge gap between the protection army and his most elite men. He became increasingly anxious.

This is already his best reserve team, but it is only like this. The tactical quality of the Zengtou City militiamen who attacked the other three village walls can be imagined. How can such a team go to Liangshan?

Zeng Suo's eyes burned with anger as he kept waving his sword to urge the soldiers to charge upwards. However, the soldiers had poor coordination, not lack of courage. Blindly urging them to charge upwards would result in the loss of more people.

Just as there was a commotion here, eight of the more than twenty soldiers of the protection army over there had already rushed up to the village wall. These soldiers of the protection army all went up carrying guns with bayonets. After landing, they were separated one by one.

He prepared his gun in a standard way, and then started to fight with the village man in front of him with his spear.

Some of the armor guards in Kongjia Village are leaders and wear leather armor. This kind of leather armor can be immune to general slashing attacks, but it is ineffective against triangular pyramids that have armor-breaking effects.

The so-called village wall in Kongjia Village was built very hastily. There is no broad terrain behind the village wall like a general city wall. It is just some platforms supported by wooden boards that can allow people to get on.

The defense behind the village wall was already very weak. The platform was so narrow that only two people could pass by side by side. The soldiers of the protection army took up more than half of the platform area with just one step.

On this narrow platform, the various weapons that the guards originally practiced, such as the long-haired swords, could not even shake their shoulders. On the contrary, the concise and neat thrusts of the guards were able to stab them in a very timely manner.

enemy.

Seeing a steady banging sound in front of them, the soldiers of the protection army stepped up shoulder to shoulder and drove most of the villagers off the wall in an instant.

These people are just Kong Bin's bankers. They don't receive much favor from him on weekdays, and they won't try their best to move forward at this time.

After several people were stabbed to death, these bankers all knew how powerful the security guards were. Seeing them approaching with guns, most of the bankers simply jumped off the platform and fled. A few still wanted to

In order to fulfill his duty for Kong Bin, he jumped off the platform and used his bow and arrow to shoot the protecting soldiers on the platform.

It's just that their archery accuracy is not good, and the soldiers on the platform run very fast, making it even more difficult to aim.

After a few arrows, these villagers not only failed to hit any of the protecting soldiers, but instead shot two of the villagers who were fleeing next to them.

When these villagers saw this scene, they knew that something was wrong. When they saw several security guards jumping down from the wall to pursue them, they immediately dropped their bows and arrows and ran towards the village without hesitation.

After the leading troops boarded the village wall, the protective soldiers behind them cooperated in pairs and quickly went up to the village wall to fill their positions.

When Zeng Suo was anxious under the wall, the soldiers of the Mutual Protection Army had already cleared away all the people on the wall, and the soldiers of the Protection Army behind also climbed up one after another. At this time, Zeng Suo's Zengtou City militiamen no longer needed to worry, and followed

Together they climbed up the village wall, pulling each other in pairs.

Then the guardsmen opened the gate of the village directly from the front.

Zeng Suo walked into the village and saw seven or eight corpses falling from the village wall. He felt mixed emotions in his heart. None of these corpses were killed by his own Zengtou City militiamen. They were all the work of the protecting army.

After the Zengtou City militiamen entered the village wall, they were still happy there. While they were celebrating, Zeng Suo looked at the protection troops next to him and saw that they had all turned their heads towards their company commander.

The company commander thought for a while and took the initiative to run over and tell Zeng Suo: "Let's search the village quickly. I'm afraid that after these villagers run away, the other city walls will be on guard."

Zeng Suo nodded and asked to leave a few people to guard the village wall to prevent anyone from running out from here.

When he thought about who to send to guard this place, Zeng Suo thought for a while and could only go to the protection army and ask them to leave a few men. He didn't even believe that these militiamen under him could hold it.

After that, everyone entered the village together and attacked the villagers behind several other village walls from behind.

This battle was fought very quickly. It only took more than half an hour from the time Wu Song and others led the men to surround three village walls to the time the village wall was broken.

In the blink of an eye, the villagers of the Kong family who were attacked from behind dispersed in a rush.

After catching a man and asking questions, it turned out that Kong Bin was still guarding his mansion and had not escaped, so Wu Song soon led people to surround Kong Bin's courtyard.

There were more than two hundred of them, and fifty of them were divided into groups to guard the courtyard fiercely. The other fifty entered directly from the front and rear doors.

After Zeng Suo entered the village, he subconsciously looked at the rich furnishings in other people's homes and thought about how to rob them later. When his men rushed into the village, they were even more excited when they saw the belongings in Kong Bin's home.

Eyes shine.

But after all, they were militiamen selected from Zengtou City. They had been trained and would not stop to rob goods during the attack.

However, Zeng Suo and the others had just rushed halfway into the courtyard, and there were still a few courtyards behind that they had not yet set foot in, but they heard a burst of noise in front of them.

In the blink of an eye, a fat middle-aged man was lifted out from the front by Wu Song.

Zeng Suo couldn't help but be stunned. They both attacked from the front and back at the same time. Wu Song even used the back door. Logically speaking, he should be the one to catch Kong Bin first.

Taking a closer look, I saw that Wu Song was followed by many people wearing rich and unpatched clothes. It turned out that these people were wealthy households in Kongjia Village, and most of them were related to Kong Bin. At this time, they all looked in awe.

He looked at Kong Bin who was carried out by Wu Song with a happy expression.

In an instant, Zeng Suo understood that Wu Song must have immediately found a way to capture Kong Bin's relatives as soon as he entered the courtyard, and promised something to make these people directly confess Kong Bin's location.

He suddenly thought that when he rushed in just now, he also saw people wearing unpatched clothes. These people were either Kong Bin's relatives or Kong Bin's stewards. He also thought about arresting these people for questioning, but these people

As soon as he saw them entering the door, he ran away like crazy. In the blink of an eye, they were gone. No one could be seen. He searched and couldn't find anyone to ask, so he could only rush in. I don't know how Wu Song caught the person so quickly.

Wu Song nodded to Zeng Suo and then went outside to call a villager from Kongjia Village to identify him. The villager who came in was trembling with fear. When he saw the man, he nodded and said it was Kong Bin, so Wu Song called the soldiers to ask for Murong Yan.

Come on.

After a while, Murong Yanda entered the Kong family's house. Murong Yanda was overjoyed to see Kong Bin. He did not expect that the battle was completed in just over an hour. After breakfast in the morning, he could still have lunch when he returned home.

He also watched the whole battle. Although he was always behind, he could clearly see the difference in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers on both sides. He did not feel that the Zengtou City militia could not fight, but he felt that the soldiers of the Protector Army were indeed

He was brave and rushed forward. He felt in his heart that Sun Xin had sent him good soldiers, and he had accepted Sun Xin's love.

He asked his subordinates to escort Kong Bin away. Murong Yanda greatly praised Wu Song. After a few words of praise with a smile, he also had the intention of soliciting in his heart.

Wu Song shook his head and said: "I have already filled the post of flag officer in Dengzhou, but the whole family is in Dengzhou and it is difficult to go to Qingzhou for official business."

A look of disappointment flashed across Murong Yanda's face, but since Wu Song had made such a great contribution, he could only attribute it to Sun Xin. It was not his fault after all, so he nodded with a smile.

Wu Song added: "I made a private promise before that as long as these branches of the Kong family hand over Kong Bin, they will not take away any of their own property. There are many small entrances in the Kong family village, and they are all used by Kong Bin as soon as the prefect enters."

The village would trick them all into robbing the house to guard it. After I preached your lord's benevolence and righteousness, these people took the initiative to hand over Kong Bin."
