"What are you doing!" Man Gui waved the sword in his hand and stopped in front of the artillery team. The musketry team also turned around, pointing the black muzzle at the dark group of people. If these people were not still wearing Ming Dynasty costumes,

Wearing her hair in a Ming Dynasty bun, Li Xiao had already given the order to shoot!

"Master Jun! Let us help you. The Tatar soldiers are not humans but beasts. The villagers from all over the country have been bullied miserably by them. They rob food, rob money, and harm the eldest daughter. What are they doing that is unscrupulous?

Let’s do it! Today we are looking forward to the return of Ming’s army, and we will help you kill the Tatars.”

An old man at the head came out, knelt down and kowtowed to Man Gui. Tears on his face were flowing like a stream.

"Old man, I'm sorry. There are rules in the army. Just watch from behind. Don't get involved in our affairs!" Li Xiao flatly refused the help of the villagers, and the team carried a large amount of gunpowder.

, it’s no joke if something goes wrong.

Besides, I came to rob this time, not to occupy territory. If I robbed the gold and left, what would the remaining villagers do? The Tatar soldiers would definitely take it out on them!

"During the battle, anyone who approaches without permission will be killed!" Ao Canghai waved his saber fiercely, scaring the people so much that they no longer dared to speak.

The walled city is not big, and there is a gate behind it. There is no difficulty in surrounding it! And Li Xiao knows that this is the only Tatar walled city within a hundred miles. If you want to get reinforcements, it will take a while at the earliest.

OK.

However, Li Xiao didn't intend to leave his mark, just grab the gold and leave. This time, my purpose is to rob.

The condition of the road was very bad, and the trebuchet got stuck in pits several times. It took a lot of effort to transport the trebuchet to the bottom of the walled city.

There was no use for the musketeers to attack the city. They could only form formations to stabilize their position.

The Jurchens are very good at archery, and their arrows can shoot very far. But compared to trebuchets, they are not even a little bit behind. No matter how powerful human power is, it cannot compare with mechanical power.

Gunpowder and shells are precious, but stones are scattered all over the mountains and plains. There are many useful stones on the nearby river beach.

Ten trebuchets kept firing stones, causing the Han flag soldiers on the wall to hide and hide. From time to time, one or two were taken away by meteor-like stones. No matter how thick the armor you were wearing, you would be beaten by someone with a big head.

If hit by a stone, it will basically be destroyed. Even if you hold a large shield, it will be of no use at all.

After half an afternoon, more than 100 Han flag soldiers on the wall were killed. Now there are only more than 200 people left in the wall who can resist with swords. Jia La'e Zhen Wei Daman also died in the battle.

Now. There is a lot of chaos in the walled city, and no one is talking.

The most desperate thing is that even if you want to go out and fight hard, you can't. Your bow and arrow can't reach others, but the stones thrown by others can hit you. Everyone believes that as long as the Ming army relies on grinding, it will be able to defeat you.

It can grind everyone on the wall to death. If you want to defend, you can't give up the wall!

When the sun set in the west, Li Xiao finally found that there was no one on the wall. Not to mention people, there was not even a bird. The trebuchet had smashed all the arrow stacks and other things, and there was no one on the wall.

If you don't stop it, you will die.

The gate of the village opened, and the soldiers with Han banners came out empty-handed. They knelt on the ground and did not move!

"Brother Mangui, go take a look!" Li Xiao said with some worry.

Man Gui and his men walked over with vigilance, and Ao Canghai ordered his men to take aim. As long as there was a change on Man Gui's side, immediately kill those bastards kneeling on the ground.

He took the people around the walled city to make sure there was no one inside. Man Gui then came back!

"There is no one in the walled city!"

"Tie up all those prisoners and find someone who can speak Chinese for interrogation."

Soon, a guy with curly hair and a curly beard was pushed out. This guy was a Niu Lu of the Han Army Banner, and he had the final say under Wei Daman. What was rare was that this guy was from Fushun and could speak

Chinese.

"Where is the gold?" Li Xiao went straight to the topic without even asking his name. I came here for the gold this time.

"Gold...!" This guy's eyes were rolling around, and it seemed like he was not honest.

"Poof!" Ao Canghai raised his knife and dropped it, and the head of a Han army flag-dropping soldier beside him was beheaded. The blood spurted out from the cavity and splashed on the guy's face.

"Where is the gold? If you don't tell the truth, you will be next."

"I said, I said, the gold is in the cellar, a total of one thousand and eighty taels, all in the cellar."

"Where is the cellar? Take us there!" When he heard that there were eighty taels more gold, Li Xiao immediately burst into laughter.

Ao Canghai took this guy away and soon sent someone to summon him. The gold was found in a very secret cellar. In addition, this military stronghold also stored a large amount of military rations.

Li Xiao was so happy that his heart almost burst open. What he likes to see most now is the golden gold and the white rice. As for things like chickens, ducks, pigs and geese, it would also be good to take them away for the tooth-beating ceremony.

Now I have to feed nearly 2,000 people. How can I do it without food?

"Move it, move it to the boat overnight. After vacating this place, set it on fire!" Li Xiao gave the order, and all the soldiers devoted themselves to selfless robbery. If you want to be rich, rob! This is what he

What a shortcut to getting rich!

I have never seen what one thousand taels of gold looks like in my entire life.

"Sir! Save us, please save us!" Twenty or thirty women ran out of the walled city. Seeing that Li Xiao had the final say, they knelt in front of Li Xiao and kowtowed.

"What...what's going on?" Li Xiao was a little confused. He was born under the red flag and grew up in New China. He was still not used to being worshiped by others like the Buddha.

"Hey...! They are all women snatched by the Tatars from all over the country. They were ruined by the Tatars. Even when they return home, they will be squeezed out. If they meet a cruel father and brother, they might be killed.

Kill her. Even if her family can tolerate her, she will never marry into a good family. This life will be ruined by the Tatars." Ao Canghai looked at these women and sighed helplessly.

"So that's it!" Li Xiao nodded. It is indeed difficult for such women to have happy days in their lives when they return to their hometown. Just chewing words can kill them. In the end, these women are not

Suicide means living your whole life as a human being or a ghost!

In the final analysis, the tragedy is caused by the cowardice of men who cannot defeat the Tatars. But these weak women are left to bear the bad reputation!

"Take them all with you! Going back to the island together is a way out."
