Xie Ming

Chapter 119 Liu Heita and Qian Chuanzi

On the eighth day of April, at 20:45 pm (:).

Xiao Jingchuan's troops discussed the specific marching details at a stone hill beside a waterhole fifteen miles south of Laishui County. After the generals had no doubts, they organized their troops and set off!
Xu Jizu and Ma Minglu led a team of more than 1,200 newly recruited soldiers and silver as collateral, and marched rapidly through the northwest of Laishui towards Shigui Mountain under the cover of night.

Xiao Jingchuan led Li Huchen, Sun Peizhong, Liu Wenbing, Gong Yonggu and Qiu Zhizhong, and more than 550 soldiers, disguised themselves as reinforcements from Yi County, and headed straight for Laishui County!

At this moment in Laishui City, one part of Liu Zongmin's army and another part of Liu Fangliang's army were fighting fiercely!
The one who led the 800 soldiers under Liu Fangliang was his subordinate, General Qian Yiqian. This man was brave and fierce, and was also good at making money!

People nicknamed him "Qian Chuanzi". Many wealthy people fell into his hands and were either killed or skinned alive.

The general commanding the more than 1,200 troops of Liu Zongmin's army gathered in the city is actually an old acquaintance of Xiao Jingchuan's troops!
This man was Liu Heita, the deputy general of Liu Zongmin's army who had been in charge of the pursuit and suppression after Xiao Lang led the team to break out of the capital!

Half a month ago, this man was chasing Xiao Jingchuan and the prince at the narrow passage of Xiangshan Mountain, but was unsuccessful and killed horses to block the road. Since then, he has been uniting his troops near the capital to search for the whereabouts of the prince!
When they were able to get out, Liu Zongmin issued a stern order in person that they were not allowed to return until the crown prince was captured.

As a result, this person has been trapped on the Fangshan-Laishui line.

A few days ago, his army was short of pay and food, so they marched into Laishui County, looking for an opportunity to get some military supplies.

This guy is unlucky!

Among Li Zicheng's troops, Liu Zongmin and Liu Fangliang were the two Lius with whom he had difficulty dealing.

At this moment, Liu Heita, who was out of luck and in a bad mood, happened to run into this money-grabbing gang led by Liu Fangliang!

This Qian Qianzong's unit was originally ordered to go to the capital to reinforce the troops. However, as the follow-up troops have not arrived yet, his money-making nature has taken over and he has started extorting money from many wealthy families in Laishui City.

He is squeezing the blood out of people here, and all the wool has been taken away. When Liu Heita comes again, there will be no more money to be squeezed out!

As a result, the two groups quarreled and fought over the division of the spoils for several days, and the conflict escalated at one point.

Until the first quarter of the evening of the eighth day (21:15).

Dozens of soldiers under General Qian Qian, a subordinate of Liu Fangliang, got drunk in a tavern in the city. Taking advantage of the drunkenness, they fired their guns and killed and injured seven or eight soldiers under Liu Heita, the deputy general of Liu Zongmin.

When this happened, Liu Heita immediately became furious and furious!

He immediately led more than 500 people from the north of the city and went straight to General Qian Qian’s barracks in the south of the city to settle accounts, intending to seek justice and severely punish the murderer.

Killing someone means paying with your life, and debts must be repaid. This is only natural!

But General Qian misunderstood and thought that Liu Heita and his troops were here to raid the camp and steal military supplies.

Thus, this ridiculous drama of internal strife quietly began!

The two sides had been in confrontation for a short time when accidental shootings became difficult to control.

After all, these days, the two groups of soldiers have disliked each other more than once or twice!
So, in such a confused state, the two sides really started fighting!
At first, they just cursed at each other and fired sarcastic remarks at each other on the main street!
As the fight went on, I got angry!
Rounds of musketry began.

Afterwards, the falconet cannon and the tiger squat cannon were used!

The two sides began to fight in the streets!
Moreover, the battle lines gradually expanded from the original main street to five or six streets and alleys, and a melee broke out in the alleys!

By the beginning of the hour of Hai (21:15 p.m.), when Xiao Jingchuan's troops were almost reaching the south gate of Laishui City, the number of casualties on both sides had reached nearly !
There are still 400 people left in Qian Qianzong's army, and there are still about 900 people left in Liu Heita's army!

It's really like a dog's head being beaten into a human head. Once the brains get hot-headed, the situation will not stop until one dies!

Bang bang bang!
boom!
boom! boom!
At the beginning of the hour of Hai, behind a section of fortifications on the main street south of Laishui City, General Qian's front line was bombarded by more artillery shells from Liu Heita!

Immediately, flames shot up into the sky, and many people were killed and injured.

Behind the shelter at the side, General Qian Qian, who was hiding in the form of a cat, cursed loudly!
"Fuck your mother! Liu Heizi (Liu Heita), you bastard!"

"If we're short of food and money, go get it yourself. Why are you grabbing me and beating me? Are you mentally ill?"

"This unit of mine will be transferred to Beijing!"

"You bastard! You're going to kill all my soldiers in Laishui!"

"Liu Heizi!"

"Wait till I get to the capital and report to King Chuang!"

"Your commander Liu Zongmin should just wait to be beaten with a stick!"

The sound of gunfire became more and more frequent, and General Qian cursed angrily. Liu Heita on the opposite side heard this and became even more angry.

"Fuck you, Qian Chuanzi!"

"Major General, put all the blame on me!"

"One of your troops allowed his soldiers to kill friendly troops!"

"I'm here to clean up the mess for you, General Liu Fangliang!"

Liu Heita roared back fiercely.

But next to him, the sixth captain Han, who had been following him, was relatively calm. He was worried that his general would not be able to explain to his superiors in the future because of such a way of fighting. So he braved the artillery fire, crouched down and approached Liu Heita, grabbed his sleeve and gave him some advice.

"General Liu!"

"Hey General Liu!"

"No, don't do this again!"

"We were transferred out of the capital by the warlord for a mission!"

"We haven't even found Prince Ming yet. If we lose more soldiers here, and Liu Fangliang is also involved, how can we return to the camp if this continues?"

"General, calm down, calm down!" General Han Qian gave earnest advice.

But at this critical moment, Liu Heita has already become bloodthirsty!

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned the matter of hunting down the prince. Once he did, the rage he had been feeling for the past few days became even stronger, so he kicked General Han Qian away without further ado!

"Fuck you!"

"Don't mention that Mentaiko thing to me!"

"What did I do to deserve this?"

"I was already furious, and that rich idiot on the other side actually dared to openly kill my people!"

"What the hell is this mission? I'm not going to do it today!"

"If I'm going to die, I'll kill that Qian grandson on the other side first!"

"Artillery team, bomb me to death!"

"fire!"

Liu Heita was already in a state of madness at this moment. He was possessed by rage and could no longer listen to anything.

Under his command, several more artillery shells were fired from north to south!

Boom
"Liu Heizi!"

"You son of a bitch!"

"If you have the guts, fight till the end!"

"Behind me are Yi County and Zijing Pass!"

"I've already sent someone to get some reinforcements!"

"You wait for me!"

"This matter has become a big deal today!"

"If you stop right now, I'll despise you!"

Qian Chuanzi was so vicious at the moment that he even intended to intensify the conflict and escalate the situation!

After all, although this incident started with a fight between soldiers, it was Liu Heita who took advantage of the situation to bombard friendly troops first.

With such actions, the nature of this incident has changed!
