The escort company commander sneered and looked back at the battalion commander.
The battalion commander had been behind him just now, but after experiencing the Battle of Zhuangzhuanggou and fighting with the regular troops of the Dangxiang Army, in the eyes of the battalion commander, Mr. Chen was just a bumpkin, and the battalion commander was too lazy to shout at him at the top of his lungs.
Too cheap.
Seeing the company commander turning back, the battalion commander nodded slightly.
"Fuck them to death for me!"
The company commander raised his hand and fired a loud arrow into the sky.
The bodyguards who had been prepared for a long time removed the straw covering the heavy crossbows, and the catapults inside the wall also released their insurances.
A few seconds later, rows of heavy crossbow arrows roared into the ranks of private soldiers.
After all, Master Chen was not a serious general, and he never expected that the "bandits" actually had heavy crossbows. In order to put pressure on the enemy, he deliberately gathered his private soldiers and stood in the open space, which made them look more imposing.
Now, the private soldiers lined up have become living targets in front of the heavy crossbows.
The arrows of the heavy crossbow are like skewers of candied haws. One arrow can pierce several soldiers.
What's even more terrible is that the catapults were also started immediately, and the burning jars of kerosene roared and smashed into the reed swamps.
The dry reeds caught fire instantly, and with the help of kerosene, the reeds burned into a sea of fire in just a few minutes.
After a round of kerosene attacks, the bodyguards began throwing grenades again.
For a moment, the sound of explosions was heard incessantly, and the private soldiers hiding in the reeds were so frightened that they rushed out howling miserably. The escorts in the open space were also frightened by the heavy crossbows and ran back crazily.
The entire battlefield fell into chaos.
"How could this happen? Why do they have heavy crossbows?"
Mr. Chen was completely dumbfounded.
Each of the aristocratic families seems to be sanctimonious, but in fact they are very fierce in fighting with each other.
Ever since he knew that all the granaries of the Xie family were being targeted, Mr. Chen thought that the perpetrators were other aristocratic families, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the world to find a group of bandits to seize the Xie family's territory.
This has happened before.
More than ten years ago, the He family in Jiangnan was rising rapidly. They also coveted the Xie family's territory, and caused several troubles overtly and covertly.
Mr. Chen was prepared for a tough battle before he came.
But Mr. Chen is not afraid. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. After all, this is the territory of the Xie family. Our number is several times that of the other party. Even if the other party can fight, they can't fight several of them, right?
As a result, the battle has just begun, and the other side has dispersed without even showing up.
Where do the bandits have heavy catapults and grenades?
Where are the bandits with such a strong sense of fighting?
Where are the bandits here?
Now someone told Mr. Chen that these people were imperial guards, and Mr. Chen believed them.
No, the Guardsmen don't have heavy catapults and grenades either!
This is the unique weapon and combat method of Zhenyuan Escort Agency!
Thinking of this, Mr. Chen suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning!
The person seizing the granary in front of me is the Zhenyuan Escort Agency!
"It's over!" Mr. Chen was heartbroken!
Ordinary private soldiers may not know about the Far Far Away Escort Agency, but as one of the grain merchants trained by the Xie family, Mr. Chen cannot possibly not know about the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
In fact, last year, when Tang Xiaobei came to Jiangnan to collect grain, he was one of the grain merchants who took the lead in making things difficult.
If other aristocratic families come to seize the territory, they still have room for resistance and negotiation, but when they encounter the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, they may not even have a chance to beg for mercy!
