Several bandits waved their weapons and tried to rush into the Tibetan Soldier Cave. The two sides started a melee at the entrance of the cave that was difficult to use. In the end, the bandits suffered a loss in weapons and were driven out with bayonets by the soldiers guarding the entrance of the cave.
In the chaos, the soldiers in the Tibetan Soldier Cave opened fire, and the doorway was suddenly filled with gunpowder smoke. The bandits screamed and fled out of the doorway, only guarding the areas on both sides of the doorway that could not be reached by rifles. The space inside the doorway was small.
, the National Army was too small in number to rush out for a while. The two sides were in a stalemate.
Zhang Tianbo was in a panic. If the city gate could not be captured, the people outside would not be able to rush in. This "ingenious plan" to seize the county seat would be in vain. He knew the reality in the city: Luo Yiming had less than a hundred people under his command, plus civil servants.
There are only 140 or 50 naturalized citizens and "rebellious" retained personnel. These people are scattered around the county and are not enough to cause trouble.
It was precisely for this reason that he agreed to act as an "internal response" and "act according to plan."
According to Zhan Zhekun's plan, Zhang Tianbo and more than 20 gangsters on the construction site acted as internal agents in the city. They set fire to the construction site to cause chaos, captured the west gate, and coordinated a large group of people from outside the city to enter the city and captured Yangshan County in one fell swoop.
To achieve the goal of seizing the city in an instant, firstly, there must be suddenness, and secondly, the two sides must agree in time. At present, it has reached a stalemate. Zhang Tianboer listened to the whistles on the street and knew that it would not be long before Luo Yiming would
Bring people to counterattack, and the situation will be reversed in an instant.
He jumped out quickly and said: "Quick! Light a fire and smoke them!"
Several bandits quickly lit a few bundles of discarded firewood and threw them at the entrance of the Tibetan Soldier Cave, and threw a few rotten straw mats on top. Suddenly, the entire city gate was filled with smoke, and even the bandits couldn't stay any longer and all ran out.
. Thick smoke poured in here, and there was no room for people in the cave. The soldiers were all choking and coughing. The corporal knew that the situation was not good, and he would definitely die if he stayed any longer. He shouted: "Everyone, don't panic! Back to back, step by step."
Move out and don’t run!”
At that moment, they formed a group of three, formed a triangular formation, and straightened their bayonets. Enduring the choking smoke, they moved step by step out of the hiding cave. When the smoke faded outside, bandits rushed towards them with strange screams.
, this side had been prepared for a long time, and the protection of the triangle formation was airtight. After stabbing three or four people in a row, no one rushed towards them anymore.
When Zhang Tianbo saw that the situation was not good, he rushed out of the city and took out the fireworks signals to set off. At this moment, the city gate was not closed, and the reinforcements in the city had not arrived. As long as the ambush outside the city arrived in time, there was still a chance of winning.
.
However, his three fireworks signals were fired in succession, but the road outside the city was quiet, with no one around! Zhang Tianbo was anxious: Could there be a mistake in the response time?! This is a head-turning thing! For a moment, he
He was so anxious that he was covered in sweat, and he was about to turn back to see what was going on. Suddenly there was a burst of gunfire in the city, and four or five bandits ran out of the doorway, each one in shock. The leader saw him still in a daze and shouted: "
Master Zhang, run quickly, the thieves are coming!"
Zhang Tianbo knew that the situation was not good, so he ran away.
Dalangwei.
Sun Dabiao stood up from the chair under the stage, bowed his hands to the guests around him, and specially bowed his hands to Wang Chuyi, who was sitting on the stage as the guest of honor, and then slowly walked onto the stage.
The guests and people who listened to the Australian's long speech have long been impatient - on this hot day, even under the pergola, it may not be much cooler. The "drama" is about to appear.
, the originally noisy polder suddenly became quiet.
The copper basin on the table in the middle of the stage was filled with water. Sun Dabiao came to the stage, first burned incense and prayed towards the main hall, and then put three incense sticks in the incense burner. After waiting for a while, someone had already brought another incense burner.
, which is densely filled with burning incense sticks.
Sun Dabiao muttered something, but because of the distance, everyone could not hear clearly what he was saying. However, the comrades in Green Forest knew that he was reciting "Ci Xiang". If the people in Green Forest want to wash their hands and go ashore, they must obtain the consent of their leader and associates.
After that, you have to recite it like this: every time you recite a sentence, pull out an incense stick from the incense burner. There are fifty-six incense sticks, and there are fifty-six sentences in the speech. You must read every word without missing a word.
, if you pull out the last one, you will wash your hands and go ashore, and then withdraw from the green forest. Sun Dabiao is the leader of a party, so he is not exempt from this custom.
When Sun Dabiao read the fifty-sixth line of his poem, he pulled out the last incense stick. Suddenly, there was a roar of gongs and drums, and lion and dragon dances were performed in front of the stage. Sun Dabiao walked slowly to the copper basin with a smile on his face.
He immersed his hand in the basin, washed it for a while and then lifted it up. Suddenly, the cannons fired in unison, which made Wang Chu's eardrums hurt. He was about to ask how long it would take for the ceremony to end. Suddenly he heard someone screaming: "
It’s gone!”
Originally, in this extremely noisy polder field, it took a lot of effort to hear clearly even when talking face to face. However, this voice was surprisingly shrill and shrill. It made Wang Chuyi and others tremble.
When I turned around, I saw a line of black smoke rising from the east side of the town.
The crowd at the polder suddenly became commotion, and Sun Dabiao said loudly: "Master Wang! You are in trouble. Please step down from the stage for a while. I will come to take a look..." As he said this, he dodged three times and ran directly off the stage, blending in.
He disappeared among the crowd.
You Ciren suddenly reacted and secretly shouted: No! He immediately pulled out his pistol and shouted: "Quick, protect the county magistrate!"
He shouted just in time. Just as the guards pushed Wang Chuyi to the ground, two or three gunshots were fired from the roof of the main hall. The people on the stage, whether they were the "virtuous people" of Dalangwei or the
As soon as Wang Chu brought the people, he was knocked down in an instant. Even You Ciren was injured, his face and hands were broken by iron sand, and blood flowed profusely.
Wang Chuyi was seriously injured. He was hit by something unknown and was bleeding profusely.
"Quickly, protect the county magistrate from breaking out!" You Ciren fully understood at this moment that this was a trap! No one expected that Sun Dabiao would risk such a big deal and attack the county government in his hometown!
Looking at the injured county magistrate, You Ciren's eyes burned with anxiety, and he ordered the Yao people squadron to protect the stage to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the chaos and breaking up the team.
The polder was already in chaos. The people hired to fill the "check" and the people watching the excitement were huddled together in panic and trampling on each other. The ground was full of people screaming and running away. And those who disguised themselves as guests
The minions were now approaching the stage brandishing swords and guns. Many of them climbed onto the nearby roof and fired muskets and arrows from above.
The Yao people's squadron was on guard around the stage. There were quite a few of them, but they were caught off guard and more than ten people were killed or injured in one fell swoop. The Yao people's squadron lacked training and had poor organization and discipline. After encountering a sudden attack, some of the people who were on the periphery were
They dispersed in a hurry and fled in all directions as the crowd dispersed. Only the dozens of people in the core group followed the previous orders and firmly guarded the stage. Some people had already fought with the bandits who rushed up. The sound of swords and swords around the stage was heard from time to time.
The screams of the killer.
Pan Tianshun led the Yao people to fight hard - because of the heat, many of them did not wear the armor they brought, so there were many casualties in the first round of fighting. Fortunately, the bandits did not have armor, and the two sides were evenly matched.
The people had a deep hatred for the Dalangwei bandits, so they fought without hesitation, and everyone took the lead bravely. They did not lose for a while.
You Ciren sent two guards to take Wang Chuyi to the stage. The place had become a battlefield of swords and swords. Not only were bandits charging towards the place, but there were also people shooting arrows at the stage from the houses around the fair. Some even set fire to it.
It has not rained here for more than half a month, the weather is dry, and the houses are mostly made of bamboo and wood. They have good dry firewood. In an instant, the fire is blazing and the smoke is filled.
Looking around, the entire Dalangwei was already filled with thick smoke and blazing fire. You Ciren knew that this matter was serious! Sun Dabiao did not hesitate to set fire to Dalangwei, and he was obviously determined to fight with the Senate to the end. At present, everyone
Fires broke out all over the town, and all the arrangements they made in advance were of no use. It was difficult for the 2nd Squadron, which was scattered everywhere, to assemble quickly and go into battle because of the fire. Their previous plan was to control the four gates and traffic points in the town.
Any riot can be quickly quelled by saying this. However, Sun Dabiao's move is completely like a stone and a stone. He doesn't care about the soldiers of the Second Squadron scattered everywhere, but concentrates all his strength to surround Wang Chuyi, trying to kill the Australian county magistrate in one fell swoop.
Capture.
"County Magistrate Wang, we can only rush out now to talk!" You Ciren said loudly.
The situation is unclear at the moment, and it is difficult to say how powerful the enemy is and whether they have any backup arrangements. To be on the safe side, the only option is to retreat to the county first.
Wang Chuyi felt weak and dizzy all over, knowing that he was seriously injured. However, at this moment, he thought that the recruitment plan was over. Not only did he betray the trust of the chief, but also dragged down a large number of comrades. He couldn't help but feel like a knife, and he said for a long time.
Without saying a word, I suddenly had the idea of committing suicide and seeking death.
"County Magistrate! County Magistrate! County Magistrate?!"
Under You Ciren's repeated urging, Wang Chuyi came back to his senses and reluctantly said: "If we all leave, what will happen to the Second Squadron?"
"Send a signal to them and ask them to rush out!" You Ciren said loudly. The second squadron was scattered at various points in the town. The town was currently in flames and filled with smoke, and it was unclear whether the roads were clear. They were asked to gather at Long
The mother temple will only increase casualties and variables, so it is better to ask them to retreat separately.
The signal soldier immediately lit three green signal rockets representing the entire retreat. You Ciren waved his command knife and shouted: "Everyone, follow me and rush out!"
At this time, Pan Tianshun cheered up, brandishing his sword and leading the Yao people soldiers to charge forward. You Ciren followed closely with more than a dozen guards, taking turns to shoot to support Pan Tianshun——
