After a brief discussion, Ning Yi carried two barrels of explosives on the carriage after leaving the Qian family. Even in the army in these days, explosives, bamboo guns and other firearms were not mainstream, and the Qian family could not always keep them.
The two barrels were because when Ning Yi sent someone to ask for gunpowder last time, the steward of the Qian family took more from the Ordnance Supervision. Ning Yi asked about it and took it with him. There was still a certain amount of ingredients left for mixing the gunpowder, which was just right.
Take it back and mix it.
Although a lot of Fang La's men were mixed into Hangzhou City at this time, they were basically still under the control of Wudeying. It may not be considered dangerous and urgent. From Qian Xiwen's words, we can tell that for this situation
, everyone still has some confidence. But eggs cannot be put in one basket. What Ning Yi has to do is not to make plans for defending the city, but to make complete preparations and take precautions. Therefore, Qian Xiwen is also happy to see it.
Its made.
If the official court department asked everyone to prepare for the city's collapse, the residents in the city would inevitably become more panicked. The first thing the wealthy households who were notified would not think about is fighting the enemy together, but how to save their own homes. But if
Ning Yi first acted as a big player to pull the strings, which made it appear that everyone was worried about their own affairs. Even if there were many people who had different intentions and only focused on themselves and fled, the extent of their contribution was better than that of the army taking the lead.
After negotiating the beginning of the matter with Qian Xiwen, Ning Yi relaxed a little and started to drive back. By this time, the fire spreading in the north of the city should have been controlled. In the seemingly clear morning sky, the black
The smoke pillars flew away with the wind across the field of vision. As Xiaochan said before, it had just rained. If someone hadn't deliberately lit flames everywhere, the wood of the houses that had been soaked by the heavy rain for four days would not have spread to the ground.
The momentum in the morning.
The carriage was speeding along the way. Although most people only stayed in the neighborhood where they lived, there were still some people on the streets that were passable at this time. Some people came out to check for information, or they dragged their families with them.
Relatives gathered together, and some of them probably wanted to go to the southern port to squeeze into the sea boats to escape, so they carried large and small packages, looking miserable. After a while, there was another sound from Qiantang Gate in the west of the city.
Being so far away, the sound of the battle over there was actually inaudible. However, it was like the tide rising in the middle of the night or the muffled thunder in the distant sky. The sound did not ring in front of us, but was as dense as a heavy rain.
The shock and the depressing feeling of fighting came over me. As Ning Yi drove forward, the fighting at the distant city gate continued, getting more and more intense, and never stopped.
Then, some real hazy and chaotic atmosphere also appeared on the way to Taiping Lane.
Some of the fighting that occurred in the city seemed to be far away, and there were a few wounded soldiers. From a distance, Ning Yi also saw a team rushing past the opposite street. It seemed that the soldiers in the north of the city in the morning were dispersed.
, some people have been chased by the army. This chilling atmosphere has shrouded the nearby area. Going forward, there are fewer and fewer people on the road. When passing a waterway, there is a sound coming from the street opposite.
There were shouts of fighting. Looking from here, it was vaguely visible that several bandits rushed into one of the courtyards and hacked to death several children. The walls and buildings on the side of the street near the waterway had collapsed.
Ning Yi can also see the general idea.
Although such streets and alleys have organized young guards like Taiping Alley, the young people who rushed over and had never seen any real blood were no match at all. The one who stepped forward first was slashed by a knife, and the rest could only hide and cry.
Amidst the sounds, screams, and warning gongs, the seven or eight gangsters rushed out of the yard on one side and entered the streets where people were running around. A man took a huge wooden stick and went over to fight.
The momentum suddenly forced the bandit back, but then he was cut off by a few knives and the wooden stick was cut off. He was forced to retreat towards the water's edge, and then he was chopped down to the ground by a blood-stained bandit.
At this time, there were children and young adults in the alley, but they were completely overwhelmed by the momentum of the seven or eight gangsters. There were screams and cries, but after another young man who was about to pounce was chopped down, a group of
At that time, no one could come over to save the man who fell to the ground. The half-blooded gangster approached with a knife. The man on the ground crawled back desperately, and then he was slashed on the chest, then another, and then another.
... A woman holding a child was leaning against the corner about two meters away, crying desperately. The man on the ground kept trying to crawl away. After a while, blood flowed all over his body, and he crawled to the edge of the waterway, where he could no longer move.
The gangster slashed a few more times, kicked the body into the water, and cursed in dialect: "Come on, let me see it again!"
At this time, the sound of the army approaching had been faintly heard. The bandit's body was like an iron tower, with a bright red half body, which made him look particularly ferocious. A companion patted him on the shoulder and shouted to him to leave. He turned to leave, but the next moment he turned around suddenly, but he saw
Ning Yi's carriage was parked here to watch the battle. He looked around to grab something and throw it here. Then, he suddenly rushed towards the crying woman and child not far away.
The robber wanted to snatch the swaddling clothes from the woman's arms. The woman held on tightly, screaming and shaking her head. The robber grabbed a few times, tore out a piece of cloth from the swaddling clothes, and the next moment he raised a steel knife and fiercely
The ground cracked. He slashed a few times and blood flowed all over the ground. Looking at this scene, there were shouts and cries in the streets. Ning Yi watched it without blinking. The gangster took a few more steps.
, broke off half a blue brick from the wall and threw it violently.
This was just a small waterway, no more than ten meters wide, and the man's throw was accurate. The sound of breaking wind came straight towards the door in front of Ning Yi. Ning Yi tilted his head, and a green brick the size of a steamed bun hit the other side of the carriage.
On the door frame, the cotton car curtain fell down. The steel knife in the gangster's hand pointed this way, smiled ferociously, and then turned around and left with his companions.
Ning Yi sat there for two seconds, raised his whip and wanted to drive away. But the next moment, he frowned and put down the riding whip, grabbed the bricks that fell on the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, and ran two steps.
He threw the green brick back with all his strength. This time, there was a loud sound, and it instantly crossed the waterway, and blood exploded. The gangster was startled, and it was indeed a comrade who was nearly two meters away who was hit on the back of the head by a green brick.
He drove forward, fell to the ground, and the bloody bricks fell further forward.
Missing, Ning Yi stood by the water and took a breath, put his hands on his face and squeezed a little. When the gangsters on the opposite side looked over, Ning Yi looked around at the ground beside him. It was all mud.
, turf, and there was no brick in sight. He turned around and got on the carriage, waved his whip and left. There was loud shouting from behind, and then someone screamed again. Probably the person was angry and killed someone with a knife. Ning Yi didn't
Look back and stop looking.
The streets in this city are not all as defenseless as the streets just now. After all, some nursing homes in wealthy families have seen blood, or have martial arts schools and escort agencies, so the resistance can be greatly increased.
But ordinary young men, unless they bully the few, can have extremely limited effect. The people Fang La sent into the city this time should basically be elite fighters, just like the kind of people who kill people with red eyes and can't save their hands, ordinary people
Even if a young man has learned some martial arts in a martial arts school and has not experienced real fighting, I am afraid he will be knocked down with a knife if he encounters one.
At this time, it seems that after the chaos in the north of the city in the morning, Fang La's subordinates rushed around and were scattered in the city. Although Wude Camp controlled Hangzhou City, the main force was still placed near the city wall. As for the
Even if the people hunting for the murderer in the city were scattered, they couldn't really control the overall situation for a while, and these things happened now, but thinking about it, it shouldn't last past this morning.
But the chaos had temporarily enveloped him, and he could not escape or look back for a while. In order to rush to Taiping Lane, Ning Yi took several detours. When he arrived at an intersection, about twenty officers and soldiers rushed to kill him.
He came out, chased the two bandits, and hacked them to death at the street corner. The leader of the officers and soldiers was a bearded man with a tough look. He pointed his knife at Ning Yi and said, "Who is it!"
Ning Yi took out the token, and then took out a document issued by the Qian family, explaining that he was going back to Taiping Lane. The bearded officer was panting and looking fierce as he chased the gangsters, but after looking at the voucher, he
After looking at Ning Yi's scholarly attire, he inspected it briefly and shouted: "There are bandits making trouble here. We are about to arrest the culprits. You can't drive the carriage over there. Detour! Detour!" Although there was gunpowder in the car, this time
The certificate Shi Ningyi brought had a very high level of authority, and coupled with Commander Du's token, it was hard for the bearded officer to say much.
These people have their own reasons for doing things. Ning Yi didn't think he had the privilege of running rampant, so he had to take a detour for a while, and then went around again. When he got to a fork in the road, he saw that there were almost a lot of people on the side of the road.
There was a scene, and hundreds of corpses stretched out into the distance between the streets. It was unknown what kind of battles had been experienced here. There were corpses of officers and soldiers, as well as a small number of bandit corpses, and among them were civilians who were affected. The surrounding areas
The streets and alleys were as quiet as death. The buzzing sound of the city spread over, and in the distance there was the sound of fighting from the Qiantang Gate.
Ning Yi turned his horse around and headed towards the other side of the road. After turning two streets, there was a sound coming from the courtyard of a rich man on one side. There was a buzzing movement. This family must have collapsed in this earthquake.
There are few buildings, but the wall along the street is quite long. There are gaps in some places, but I can't see what's going on inside. After Wei Wei listened for a moment, the sounds inside were getting louder and louder. It seemed like someone was heading this way.
Rush over.
Just when Ning Yi was about to speed up, at a gap in front of the street, a gangster with blood all over his body rushed onto the street and looked towards Ning Yi. Ning Yi wanted to turn around and looked behind.
Several people climbed out of the wall, and one of them, a man with a steel whip, shouted: "The killer! Leave the car behind! Brothers! Steal his car, set it on fire, and kill those dog officers and soldiers!"
Amidst the shouts of this man, several people in front of the road were already rushing towards this side. The first one was holding a hammer and was particularly fierce. Ning Yi was dressed as a scholar and looked forward and behind for a while, barely able to control his movements.
The carriage fell out of the carriage. He got up in panic and ran towards a gap in the wall on the other side. He ran more than 20 meters. Ning Yi looked back in the small courtyard where the room had collapsed and saw the road behind.
On the top, a man rushed up to the carriage with nimble hands, grabbed the reins, and pulled the restless horse with one hand with a "shu", his heroic appearance was bright red.
Ning Yi took a few steps back, frowned as he looked over there, and covered his mouth with his sleeves.
"Fuck you..."
Inside the car curtain, a fire burned to the end. Someone opened the curtain and the light bloomed.
There was a loud bang, and the flames shot into the sky, swallowing up the distortion of the human face and the crazy barking of the horse. A human body was blasted into the sky. The flames rose and the air flow flew, messing up Ning Yi's clothes and broken limbs.
He fell down in front of his eyes. After a few seconds, he turned around and started running, almost still buzzing in his ears, someone was crazy: "Kill him, kill him, kill him - give me this son of a bitch -
"
The uninjured people chased this way.
With a bang, Ning Yi broke through a rickety wooden door. With wood chips flying, he pulled out a steel knife from the side of his robe. As he ran, he pulled out a piece of cloth and fixed the handle of the knife on his hand with his hands and mouth.
