Due to the unsalable products, many workshops have stopped working. The residents of Beiping City have become leisurely, and more people are shopping and visiting gardens. In fact, the shortage of materials in Beiping City is relative. Compared with a month ago, the living standard has dropped. However,
Compared with years ago, living standards have greatly improved. At least this year, there have been no cases of people freezing to death in the streets where wine and meat stinks.
After resting in bed for a day, Fu Wei was able to get out of bed. Wan Lei helped her go for a walk in Houhaizi behind her home. While going out to breathe fresh air, she was also helping her get rid of the psychological shadow. It is said that once she was bitten by a snake ten times,
Nian is afraid of well ropes. After a kidnapping incident, most people will become suspicious and even stay at home and dare not go out. Wan Lei does not want his wife to become a homebody.
There are many people fishing on the beach. These people come here partly for leisure, and partly to catch some fish and go back to improve their food. This kind of spontaneous behavior of the people is not ignored by the government. Even the Royal Lake in the Imperial City has it.
People go fishing, anyway, Shuntian Prefecture is not doing anything like Wang Shi in the world. Except for the underground minerals that are clearly "state-owned", all mountains, forests, rivers and swamps are publicly owned and can be enjoyed by everyone.
In addition to fishing, some young people are also keen to go hunting together. Autumn is coming soon, and wild animals such as rabbits, foxes, elk, etc. are all full of fat, which is the most suitable time for hunting. Through hunting, not only can the food be improved and the consumption of staple food reduced,
It also stimulates the wild and bloody nature in young people.
The spirit of civilization and the body of barbarism are the only way to strengthen a country.
"Let's go over there and sit." Wan Lei pointed to a small pavilion not far away and helped his wife over.
Although there were two old men playing chess in the pavilion, Wan Lei was not a loner and would not mind sharing the pavilion with others. When the two saw Wan Lei coming, they stood up and saluted, and Wan Lei just returned the salute.
Just ask them to do it themselves.
The warm breeze blows, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the high tower, and the sky is full of red clouds, reflecting on Fu Wei's face, which is filled with happiness and satisfaction. Although he has just gone through many hardships, he can finally rely on his husband's side to enjoy the blessings.
Care, she felt a bit spoiled, so she curled up quietly in her husband's arms, enjoying the sense of security of being cared for.
Fu Wei closed her eyes and fell asleep again soon, looking like a lazy cat who loves to sleep. Wan Lei took off his cloak and covered her body to prevent her from catching cold again. Regarding the blatant love scene of the Wan couple,
The two old men next to them were already used to it, and they even envied the young couple. They were only lovers, not immortals.
His wife fell asleep, and Wan Lei was also motionless with his eyes closed. Soon, the afterglow of the setting sun dissipated, and the lights of the city rose again. Since the hostage crisis had been resolved, the curfew was also lifted. The hunting team returned
After returning home with a full load, everyone went to Houhai for a picnic and barbecue. Hearty laughter could be heard everywhere.
In fact, ordinary people are easily satisfied. If they have food, clothing, and shelter, their faces will be full of happiness. But Fu Wei seemed to be awakened by these laughters and laughter, and his body moved a few times.
Then he hugged his head and fell asleep again, like a big lazy man.
Wan Lei saw that the night wind here was very cold, so he picked up his wife and went home. But as soon as he walked halfway, he heard a rapid sound of gongs coming from the direction of the prison. He hurriedly quickened his pace and rushed Fu
I sent him home so he could see what was going on in the prison.
In fact, as soon as the police gong sounded, Beiping City immediately started a curfew. The residents of Beiping City were used to it. They all consciously hurried home and closed the doors. In short, they did not wander around in the streets, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the government.
.The government officials and city defense troops quickly mobilized to block the streets and evacuate the people while surrounding the incident.
All in all, Beiping City has become an organized and disciplined city. No matter what emergencies occur, the soldiers and civilians of Beiping City will not be in disarray.
"Where are you going?" Fu Wei was sent to the bed. Seeing that her husband was about to leave, Fu Wei was a little reluctant to leave.
"You go to sleep first, I'll be back soon." Wan Lei stroked his wife's face and asked her to sleep peacefully before going out. Before leaving home, he did not forget to remind Chi Xin and others to protect his wife's safety.
As soon as Wan Lei walked out of his house, he saw a messenger coming quickly and said: "Mr. Wan, someone has robbed the prison, and many of our brothers have been injured."
"What?!" Wan Lei quickened his pace and asked as he walked: "Who is so bold?"
"Younger ones don't know. I only heard people say that one of them is an old monk with very high martial arts skills. None of our brothers can be his opponent."
"Go, sound the alarm for the whole city, and all the soldiers of the city defense army must be dispatched." Wan Lei also knows that those who come are not good and good people will not come. Since the other party dares to come to rob the prison, he is confident. Of course, Wan Lei will not let the other party
If you succeed, this is Beiping City after all. If the other party succeeds in kidnapping people, the Peking Army will lose all face.
The prison is not too far from Wanzhai, and they arrived in just ten minutes. Zhao Xueer and Zhang Yan arrived at the scene of the incident before Wan Lei. They also brought with them twenty tough men who had just been selected from the army, and the soldiers of the city defense army
Commander Liu Baoding also came to take command, and thousands of troops surrounded the entire prison.
However, the situation in the prison was not optimistic. I heard from a jailer who had a broken leg that there were five people who came to rob the prison. The leader was an old monk who was very tough. He could wield a Zen staff with great force and could be disabled with just one stick.
One person, the cell leader and jailers who were responsible for guarding the prison were all killed or injured, and most of them were taken hostage by the other party.
The other party had dozens of hostages in hand, so it was not convenient for the military to attack by force. They had to send people to shout into the prison to ask about the other party's intentions and strive for a peaceful solution. However, the people inside did not reply and seemed to be determined to fight to the end.
Yes.
"Brother, what should we do? Do we want to storm in and save people?" Zhao Xueer asked.
"Ms. Zhang, what do you think?" Wan Lei put the question to Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan frowned and wrote: "A strong attack will inevitably cause some damage, so besiege and don't attack and wait and see what happens."
"Send the order, set up the cordon, use the tiger's mouth formation, and set up sharpshooters on the commanding heights. Let's survive with them to see who can survive the other," Wan Lei said.
Soon, the army re-arranged their formations. Whether they were dealing with masters or low-hands, one person or a hundred people, or fighting on horseback or on foot, the Peiping Army always fought in formation.
To put it bluntly, it is a group fight tactic.
Take the city defense infantry as an example. In addition to practicing various city defense equipment, they also practice a set of improved tactics. This improved set of tactics was summarized and explored in several city defense battles a few months ago.
What comes out can be said to be valuable practical experience gained through bloody lessons.
This tactic is named: Tiger's Mouth Formation, because once the enemy is trapped in this formation, it is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, there is no life or death. This tactic not only has a perfect battle formation, but also
It has impeccable location combinations and weapons and equipment.
Among these eleven people, one is the captain. He stands in the front and center of the team. The other ten people are divided into two columns and stand behind him. Although there are only ten people, they hold four different weapons and
Five coordinated attack lines were formed.
Behind the captain are two shield soldiers holding javelins. They use shields to protect themselves and their comrades behind them. When encountering an enemy siege, the shield soldiers first launch an attack by throwing javelins, and the captain also retreats behind the shield soldiers, using bows and arrows.
Kill enemies from a distance.
The shield soldiers are protected by the wolf sword soldiers standing behind them. The so-called wolf sword soldier is a special weapon with a very weird shape. It has a long iron rod as the main body and is covered with iron branches and barbs. It is thrust forward.
, like a barbed wire fence, keeps the enemy out. Behind the wolf soldiers are four spearmen. They are the main attacking force of the team. When they see the enemy, they use their spears to stab forward.
At the end of the queue are two swordsmen. Their role is to prevent the enemy from detouring and protect the spearmen from the flanks. It can be said that this is a formation with no weaknesses. The eleven people cooperate with each other and cover each other to form a perfect formation.
Killing array.
Although the tiger's mouth formation seems perfect, it is not suitable for fighting cavalry in the wild, nor is it suitable for pursuit battles, nor is it suitable for large army battles. It is only suitable for defending cities and fighting in narrow areas where cavalry cannot perform. Now use
Ten of these killing formations were used to deal with the prison robbers, and many sneak attack points were set up. This was considered a good deal.
However, the people outside were ready, but they waited and waited, but no one from the prison came out. However, Wan Lei was also very patient. He was not tired of sitting on a tall horse and waiting. He also expected to accept the actual combat effect of the Tiger's Mouth Formation.
Well, if there are any problems during the battle, they can be improved and kept improving.
The reason why the people in the prison have been reluctant to break out is not because they are afraid of the army outside, but because there are internal differences. The prison robbers want to take away Liu Wan and others. The handsome boy Zhang Zhaozhong and the little girl Bluetooth have to escape from the prison.
, naturally he was overjoyed, but Liu Wan refused to leave and said she wanted to stay.
"Senior sister, why don't you leave?" Zhang Zhaozhong was an infatuated person. When his beloved senior sister refused to leave, he didn't leave either.
"Sister Wanwan, don't just sit there stupidly. If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave." Lan Yue also advised.
"I have already negotiated all the matters with that person, and the fifth sister went to deliver a letter to my godmother. I can't break the agreement." Liu Wan frowned. She didn't want to leave, but she just thought that if she just left like this, it would be automatic.
Breaking the contract. Breaking the contract twice in succession. The Peking Army will no longer trust her in the future, let alone sell artillery to her.
"Oh, what's the point of breaking the contract? It's important to escape now. After we escape safely, we can find a way to grab a few artillery pieces." Lan Yue continued to promote the personality of the little girl. In her opinion, benevolence, justice and morality
That's bullshit, the end justifies the means.
"Master, there are many officers and soldiers surrounding us. If we don't leave, we won't be able to leave." At this time, a strong man came to an old monk who was meditating with his eyes closed and reminded him.
The old monk suddenly opened his eyes, and a chilling light shone directly out. He looked at Liu Wan and others who were still arguing, and said: "Wan'er, come here."
The old monk's bell-like voice echoed in the narrow dungeon, causing everyone's eardrums to ache. In order to record clearly, Liu Wan did not allow anyone to remove her handcuffs and shackles, and she dragged the heavy shackles away.
Go to the old monk, kneel down and listen to the lesson.
The old monk didn't say anything. A big withered hand suddenly grabbed the handcuff on Liu Wan's hand, and the other hand picked up a steel knife and slashed down. He only heard a clang, and the handcuff responded.
Then it was broken with another knife, and the shackles were also cut open.
"Let's go out." Without saying a word, the old monk stood up and took the lead to walk out. The Zen staff in his hand hit the bluestone on the ground with a bang, and his body was filled with a chilling air. This was
A fearless spirit that makes me brave even if there are thousands of people.
Seeing that the matter had come to this, Liu Wan knew that it was useless to say more, so he had to follow up and get out of the dungeon in front of the old monk. At this time, hundreds of officers and soldiers were already waiting outside the dungeon, and the light of the torches illuminated the surrounding area.
During the day, Liu Wan raised her hands high and pressed them behind her head, indicating that she had no intention of resisting.
"Miss Liu, you and I have just reached an agreement, but you have come out like this, clearly bullying everyone in our Peking Army?" Wan Lei was really angry. He didn't like capricious people the most.
"Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding. The prison robbery has nothing to do with me, let alone my instructions." Liu Wan said anxiously.
"Whether it was your order or not, since you have injured my people, don't blame us for being ruthless with our swords. If you are wise, just restrain your hands, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!" Wan Lei has given up his thoughts of kindness, although he knows that he is ruthless.
Carrying out a killing would be tantamount to a complete break with Madam Liu and her gang, but at this point, he could no longer bear it and had no choice but to retreat.
"Drink! Kill without mercy!" The officers and soldiers present roared in unison, the sound shook the surrounding areas, and the military power was shaken.
"What a loud tone! Don't you just have a lot of people? If you have the guts, fight us alone!" Zhang Zhaozhong also came out of the dungeon and saw Wan Lei sitting high on the horse. He was even more jealous of the enemy.
Pointing at Wan Lei, he called the formation.
"Let's fight one on one. I'm afraid you won't succeed." Zhao Xueer was the first to be unconvinced. She changed her sleeves and prepared to go into battle to repair the arrogant guy. However, she was stopped by Wan Lei. Wan Lei just gave an order, five and ten.
The one-man team formed an attack, and the marksmen standing on the commanding heights had their bows drawn and were ready to shoot at any time.
Facing the approaching battle formation, Liu Wan became anxious first. She had been beaten by a group before, and the people who came to attack her were just ordinary small battle formations. Now a more peculiar battle formation was deployed. She
But he didn't think that these special war tools were just decorations. So he stood up and said, "Don't do anything yet. I am willing to stay. The other people have nothing to do with this matter. Please let them go."
"Since you injured one of our people in Beiping City, you are already a serious criminal. You can never leave alive." Wan Lei would not listen to the other party's plea anymore. He had already made up his mind to see a real actual battle.
"Sister Wanwan, stop talking nonsense, let's rush out!" As soon as Lan Yue said these words, she jumped up and rushed towards Wan Lei. It seemed that she wanted to capture the thief first. This was her plan.
Although the beating was very loud, the Peking troops were not stupid thieves, and it was not her turn to capture her yet.
No, as soon as she rushed out a few meters, she was blocked by a team of 11 people. She also wanted to fly over this team, but as soon as she jumped half a meter, she was blocked by several wolf traps full of barbs.
As she was on her way out, she couldn't get out of the way, and her body was cut with several long cuts, which were bloody and so painful that she almost fainted and fell straight to the ground.
But before she fell to the ground, four spears pierced out and separated her limbs. In almost an instant, her hands and feet were pierced by the spears, and the blood spurted out. She immediately fainted from the pain.
Liu Wan saw that Lan Yue was seriously injured in just the blink of an eye, and saw that the spear had already pierced Lan Yue's chest. She was so anxious that tears came down. She knelt down and cried, "No, don't kill her."
"Tie them up!" Wan Lei waved his hand, and the battle formation began to change. The shield soldiers came forward to block the people who came to save people. The spearmen and wolf soldiers also followed, staring at the people on the opposite side.
The swordsman who was originally responsible for cutting off the head cut several times on Lan Yue's clothes and made some cloth ropes to tie her into a rice dumpling.
Seeing that one of his own was easily captured, the old monk was not too surprised. However, the people around him summoned them, and after whispering to each other, they also formed a battle formation and slowly rushed towards this side. Liu Wan was stunned.
He knelt on the ground dumbly, not knowing what to do.
"Sister, come here, let's rush out together." Zhang Zhaozhong shouted urgently, but Liu Wan still knelt there blankly, unmoved. Zhang Zhaozhong wanted to go out and help her, but was stopped by the old monk.
"Keep formation and attack!"
As soon as the old monk's roaring sound like bells and drums passed, he grabbed the Zen staff and smashed it at the wolf sword that had been stretched out in front of him. There was a crisp click, and many iron branches of the two wolf swords were broken. At this moment,
The five men behind the old monk rushed forward and slashed their swords directly onto the large shield in front of the formation. The force was so powerful that no ordinary sergeant could withstand it.
The two shield bearers were knocked back a few steps. Fortunately, the spearmen responded in time and pushed away the five people. Only then did the shield bearers breathe a sigh of relief. The team leader also pulled up without saying a word.
The long bow was aimed at the old monk, but the old monk was extremely brave. He swept the long arrow away with one sweep of the Zen staff, and then flew forward again, and the Zen staff struck straight down against the shield array.
There was only a snap sound, and the shield made of fine iron was smashed flat. How could the shield withstand such a violent blow? His arm was broken when it shook. However, he was strong, and he still used his shoulder after his hand was broken.
Push up on the shield and use your body to hold up a safe position for the teammates behind you.
Seeing that his teammates were defeated, the nearby battle formations immediately came to help. On the battlefield of life and death, no one would talk about benevolence, justice and morality to others. In the Peking Army's military philosophy, it is to get the most at the least cost.
To achieve victory on the battlefield, you either rely on the strong to bully the weak, use the more to bully the less, or openly engage in group fights.
Although the old monk's group has high strength and team spirit, there are only six people, and they are surrounded by four tiger's mouth formations. These forty-four people are divided into four teams, but they are a whole.
If you attack as the main attack, the other side will definitely respond from the side or make a sneak attack.
There are several reserve teams behind these four teams. If one team fails, they will immediately retreat and replace with a new team. These six people are surrounded in the middle and cannot look at each other. The position is gradually compressed, let alone rushing out.
It is difficult to fend off such a concentrated attack.
It didn't matter if he was beaten by a crowd several times his size. There were a dozen sharpshooters lurking on the roof nearby. They specialized in firing cold arrows and shot people in the back. Except for the old monk, everyone else was shot with cold arrows.
If shot, the body is injured, and the force value will only plummet.
Seeing the advancing battle formation, the old monk became anxious, and the Zen dance was whirring. Wan Lei, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but admire him, because judging from his age, this white-bearded old monk was at least seventy or eighty years old.
Now, you are still so fierce, and you were not brave enough to fight when you were young?
He admires him, but Wan Lei will not stop sending troops to beat him up just because he is old. In his opinion, anyone who is detrimental to Shuntian Mansion is an enemy, especially those who have harmed the citizens of Shuntian Mansion, it is even more serious.
The first step is to get rid of it quickly, otherwise we will not be able to explain to the citizens, let alone play the role of the protector.
Although the old monk was fierce, he was still old after all. After a few minutes of fighting, his physical strength began to be exhausted. The besieging officers and soldiers were so smart that they were not in a hurry to attack. They continued to consume his physical strength until the opponent was full of energy.
When the lights are out, they all join forces to take advantage of the situation.
Seeing her master being beaten by the crowd and her brothers being injured, Liu Wan couldn't sit still anymore and cried and begged: "Stop fighting, I, I, we admit defeat."
