Ming Zuo

Chapter 701

The Musketeers led by Xu Erjue and Li Chongtian were naturally the ones who took over Xu Ji, Wang Ruixian and others.

When the gate of the magistrate's yamen was closed, the servant sent by Xu Erjue realized something was wrong, and hurried back to report.

Xu Erjue, Pan Xiaona and the others were still hesitant, but Li Chongtian made a decisive decision and rushed out of Xu's mansion immediately.

Fortunately, he moved fast enough, and met Wang Ruixian and others who broke out on the way.

Seeing the ranks of officers and soldiers chasing after him, Li Chongtian lined up his troops in the street.

Hundreds of firecrackers aimed at the pursuers.

"Prepare!"

bang bang bang bang...

He just ordered preparations, but the servants of the Xu Mansion had already pulled the trigger.

Noisy gunshots resounded through the street, only two or three of the officers and soldiers who rushed were killed, and the rest quickly turned around to avoid it, not daring to charge again.

Li Chongtian's head was full of black lines, and while waving his hand to disperse the smoke in front of him, he shouted angrily: "Who told you to shoot?"

The servant's face was red, and he hurriedly refilled it.

In this regard, Li Chongtian has nothing to do.

After all, the training time for these people is too short, and there is still a long way to go before they become qualified soldiers, and they simply cannot do as well as the new army.

But there are firecrackers here, and the impact on the officers and soldiers is too great.

The officers and soldiers hid on the other side of the street and also fired at this side with firecrackers.

There is a long distance between the two sides, how can the accuracy of the musket gun be any good?

After a crackling fight for a long time, neither side was injured at all.

Xu Erjue was fighting between the two, and didn't dare to raise his head at all.He leaned in front of Li Chongtian and tried to propose.

"Director Li, why don't we just withdraw to the mansion and have a long-term plan?"

Li Chongtian really wanted to crush him on the spot.

"Return to the mansion at this time, waiting to be besieged? Now that we are strong and the enemy is weak, it is a good time to attack the mansion."

"what?"

Xu Erjue was terrified, he never thought that Li Chongtian wanted to take the initiative to attack.

It is useless to talk to such people who have no military literacy.

Li Chunchun quickly ordered.

"Forward! Line up and attack."

When the servants heard that they were going to attack, they were all a little scared.

Li Chongtian was furious.

"Are you guys rebelling, don't drive the dog officer back, and wait to be killed by him?"

As soon as this was said, the servants finally understood the seriousness of the matter.Even if they were afraid of death, they came out at least one after another, stooping their waists, and walked forward cautiously.

Although their virtues are terrible, the officers and soldiers are not much better.

It is especially ironic that there are more muskets here than on the opposite side.

In the confrontation, the Musketeers completely gained the upper hand.

When the officers and soldiers saw that this side was starting to attack, they did not dare to stay where they were, and began to retreat one after another.

Under such crouching dragon and phoenix chicks, the Musketeers had the upper hand.

Songjiang Mansion City was originally not big, and Xu Mansion was very close to the government office.Not long after, the Musketeers drove the officers and soldiers back to the government office.

"Master Fang, what should we do? The Xu family has really been turned against you."

As soon as Zheng Yongchun opened his mouth, he intended to put the blame on Fang Yuegong.

Originally, he didn't agree to be strong against Xu Jiajia from the beginning, but Fang Yuegong insisted on his own opinion.

Now that the trouble has come to this point, he has made up his mind that he will participate in Fang Yue's tribute no matter what afterwards.

Fang Yuegong's face was livid, and he asked someone to bring a ladder, and leaned on the wall to watch Xu's musketeers getting closer.

"Don't panic, I have already dispatched troops. As long as you hold on, there is hope!"

The officers and soldiers who had already panicked heard what he said, and they stabilized somewhat, and climbed up the wall one after another, condescendingly shooting at each other with bows and arrows, firecrackers and musketeers.

At this point, even if Li Chong issued a strict order, the Musketeers were unwilling to move forward.

The other side has bunkers, but they have nothing.Let them rush up from the open road, they will never dare.

Li Chongtian was really helpless about this, and he didn't know if it would be possible to rely on these people?
When I was depressed, someone suddenly cheered: "The artillery is coming."

Li Chongtian hurriedly looked back.

I saw Wang Ruixian running with a large group of people, pushing the two doors and running.

"Section Chief Wang, where are there so many people?"

Wang Ruixian was in high spirits.

"I heard that the government wanted to burn down the factory and destroy the machines, but the workers gave up. They all depended on working for a living, and what the government did was driving them to a dead end. So these workers all spontaneously organized to resist and came to help us from all directions. .”

Looking at the resolute workers and the cowardly servants, Li Chongtian couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"The commander-in-chief has always said that the working class has a strong fighting capacity. In the past, I didn't believe it. Today, I see that it is indeed the case."

Wang Ruixian nodded even more.

"Now it seems that these bourgeoisie can only fight against the wind and rely on these industrial workers at critical moments."

However, in the middle of the battle, breaking the magistrate's yamen is the key point.

"Come on, mount the gun."

Those who operated the rifles were all elites from the intelligence department. After receiving the order, they dispersed the crowd in front. The two rifles were pushed up, and the muzzles were aimed at the gate of the government office.

When Fang Yuegong and the others on the wall saw the artillery, their faces changed drastically.

The boss ran over, grabbed Fang Yuegong and walked back.

"Go away, my lord, the government office can't keep it anymore."

Fang Yuegong was in a hurry.

"Let go of me, I will live and die with the government."

The general manager will not listen.

If Fang Yuegong died here, he, the local guard, would definitely have to be buried with him.

"My lord, if you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. Officials and troops from all walks of life are reinforcing, and when the reinforcements arrive, they will definitely be able to wipe out these thieves."

After hearing this, Fang Yuegong calmed down somewhat, and stopped struggling, and hurriedly ran towards the back door of the mansion along with the officers and soldiers.

With two cannon blasts, the gate of the magistrate's yamen immediately disappeared.After the dust cleared, there was a big gap, which could no longer block the entrance and exit.

Li Chongtian was overjoyed and shouted: "Rush in, catch the dog officer, and eliminate harm for the people!"

The Musketeers and the workers who came from the reinforcements shouted and rushed into the government office bravely.

Unfortunately, there was no one there.

The officials of Songjiang Mansion had already run away from the back door.

And they didn't dare to stay for a moment, they ran all the way and ran out of the city gate.

After receiving the news, Wang Ruixian and Li Chongtian knew that the crisis had not been lifted.

Wang Ruixian said to Li Chongtian: "You immediately lead people to control the gates of the city and organize the city defense. Then the officers and soldiers may have to counterattack."

Li Chongtian also knew that the matter was of great importance, so he quickly led the Musketeers and workers to wipe out the remaining government troops in the city, and snatched every city gate into his hands.

Wang Ruixian quickly returned to Xu's mansion and found Xu Ji and others.

"Fang Yuegong has run away. He will definitely mobilize the army to counterattack. Next, we must defend the city until the new army arrives."

At this point, the last hesitation of Xu Ji, Pan Yunlong and others dissipated, and they knew that there was no turning back when they opened their bows.

"Okay, I'll quickly take out the money and gather the townspeople to defend the homeland together."
