With the east city gate broken, there is no need to hold on to the other city gates.
After Tang Ji received the news, he asked Yue Shuhua to take Jiang Ran to escape from the west gate, while he took the guards to help Song Yao and delay the time. However, he sat in the carriage and observed for a long time without noticing Song Yao's body.
The figure scratched his head in confusion: "Is it possible that Song Yao abandoned the city and ran away?"
He quickly shook his head and rejected this possibility.
Anyone in the city could escape, but Song Yao would never be able to escape.
In that case, there is only one possibility left...that is, Song Yao has died!
Thinking of this, Tang Ji's eyes suddenly widened. He also promised Li Yu to help take care of Song Yao. If the other party really died, it would be hard for him to explain to Li Yu.
Seeing that he was still in a daze, Cheng Tie, who was sitting outside the carriage, reminded: "Brother Tang, if you don't take action, it will be too late!"
Immediately, Tang Ji shook his head to recover his thoughts, ordered him to stop the carriage, took out an iron can with a diameter of half a foot from the carriage and handed it over. Seeing that he was ready, he took out a fire stick and lit the slender fuse.
Cheng Tie raised his lips slightly, waited for the fuse to burn for a while, and then threw the tin can with all his strength into the bandit team that was charging towards them.
The iron can accurately hit a bandit. The man was knocked to the ground directly, clutching his chest in pain. His eyes quickly focused on the iron can, and he stretched out his hand to stroke it twice.
The light spot of Mars quickly penetrated into the iron can.
The next second, the curious bandit was "melted" and his body was gone.
"Boom~"
The explosion swept across, and the surrounding bandits suffered a lot, dying and being injured.
The scene outside the North City Gate not long ago reappeared in the minds of some bandits, and the fear in their hearts was once again amplified, and they retreated continuously.
Tang Ji stared ahead. In half a day, he made six more explosives using the iron cans provided by Cheng Tie, optimizing the proportions and the length of the leads. Although the iron cans were much smaller than the clay pots, their lethality was not weak at all. He was planning to use them again.
He took one, but it suddenly fell forward and almost fell.
Cheng Tie almost fell down, but realized that the horse was frightened, so he quickly cut off the connection between the horse and the carriage, and then stabilized himself.
On the other side, Chu Zhuoming locked his eyes on the two of them. When the iron ball was thrown, he guessed it. He clenched his fists and ordered: "Capture the two people on the carriage alive!"
Although the bandits were frightened, they were still more in awe of Chu Zhuoming and regained their courage and rushed forward.
Tang Ji frowned slightly. Regardless of whether Song Yao died or not, since she was not here, there was no need for him to hold on any longer. He quickly jumped out of the carriage and distributed the remaining five explosives in the carriage to Pang Qing, Cheng Tie and others.
He shouted: "After Pang Qing led the men, the others retreated and implemented the second plan!"
Immediately, the guards gathered around and escorted Tang Ji towards the street behind.
Pang Qing and others calmly lit the fuse, selected a place where bandits were densely packed, and threw it over to cover the evacuation of everyone.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The explosives claimed the lives of many bandits, and the rest were temporarily isolated.
"This thing is really exciting. If Brother Tang leads an army to rebel, there is no city that cannot be conquered." Pang Qing joked casually, then clapped his hands, turned around and said: "Get out, get out, get out!"
A moment later, looking at several large pits on the ground and countless broken limbs and remains, Chu Zhuoming punched the air and said angrily: "Send a team of people to chase me, and the others will search the city."
"Yes!" the bandits responded and ran towards the street.
...
Not long after, in an alley in Dongcheng.
The two bandits were covered with gold and silver jewelry, and they blocked a girl in a floral white cotton-padded coat in a corner. There was saliva hanging from the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were filled with greed. They rubbed their shoulders and said, "Little sister,
Let your brothers love and care for you."
The girl was frightened, trembling, huddled in the corner, her cheeks wet with tears, and whispered: "Please, please, let me go..."
"Hahaha, brothers won't kill you, just be happy." The wretched-looking man in gray squatted down and touched the girl with his hands: "Don't be afraid, brother will be gentler, hehe...
Forehead!"
Before he finished speaking, he discovered that there was an extra arm behind his back, and his neck was broken before he could react.
The other person came to his senses and was about to raise the knife but his neck was cut by the knife.
"Ah~ uh uh uh!!" The girl was so frightened that she screamed, but her mouth was covered by the man in front of her in an instant.
Ji Ranju's guard stretched out his hand and gestured to signal her to be silent: "Don't be afraid, I am a city defense force. Find a place to hide."
The girl was still a little frightened, but when she heard that the other party was not a bad person, she nodded repeatedly.
Soon, the guards took the girl to a shop that had been ransacked, placed her in a small room on the second floor, and hurriedly left to rescue others.
At the same time, on the second floor of a teahouse not far away, Tang Jizheng was analyzing the map of Yunhuai City brought from the county government: "No, we still have too many people. In comparison, the number of common people is
There are so many, once the bandits are allowed to spread, even if reinforcements arrive, they can still take the people as hostages, so we have to find a way to slow down their spread."
Immediately, he turned to Cheng Tie and asked, "Old Cheng, where are the soldiers who have withdrawn from the South Gate and West Gate?"
"They are fighting with the bandits in Xicheng to delay the evacuation of the people." Cheng Tie told the intelligence that his men had just gathered.
Hearing this, Tang Ji lowered his head and looked at the map again. The dividing line between West City and East City was Huaiyuan Street, the central main road. He touched his chin and thought about it before ordering: "Ask your brothers to lead all the bandits to Huaiyuan Street.
Let them circle around the main street, and then notify the West City side and ask them to guard for three hours. If that guy Li Yu is serious, he will definitely come back!"
"Yes!" Cheng Tie responded with clasped fists, then turned and walked out of the room.
Tang Ji sighed. Although Ji Ranju and Jianghai Chamber of Commerce had only a little over 200 guards left in total, fortunately most of them knew martial arts, so they still had an advantage in street fighting. This was the last thing he could do for the city.
, I just hope that reinforcements can arrive faster.
Suddenly, the window of the room was smashed open, and Zhu Mang and the woman in purple robe flew in.
The woman in purple robe is tall and has fair skin. The only shortcoming of her face is that her chin is too prominent.
"Boy, where are you running!" Zhu Mang swung his sledgehammer and rushed forward.
At the critical moment, Pang Qing drew his sword against the opponent and shouted: "Brother Tang, leave quickly!"
Tang Ji didn't care to think about it and fled downstairs with two guards.
Xia Yunling stroked her lips, chuckled twice, gently fiddled with her nails, and said to Zhu Mang: "Lao Wu, I'll leave this place to you."
"Don't worry, Fourth Sister!" Zhu Mang grinned, watching her walk downstairs unhurriedly, and reminded her loudly: "Fourth Sister, don't play that kid to death, this is the person the eldest brother wants to win!
"
"I know, I can't bear to play such a masterpiece just once!"
The lustful smile spread throughout the teahouse, making people feel chills down their backs.
