Chapter 121: Traders

The garrison commander at the south city gate stammered, saying that the reinforcements coming from Yi County would only provide some support from the rear, and asked Qian Chuanzi to lead the remaining troops first, while he would only provide fire support from the rear.

Upon hearing this, Qian Chuanzi, a captain under Liu Fangliang's command, became furious and started cursing.

"Fuck him!"

"We are all brothers under General Liu. When something happens, we know to back off!"

"what!"

General Qian Qian was so angry that he kicked the city gate guard who was reporting the incident three feet away!

The officer in charge of the city gate was humiliated for no reason and was kicked to the ground by his own captain, but he dared not say a word.

He was feeling frustrated and tried to get up again by twisting his buttocks.

But right now!
Boom!
The artillery team of Liu Heita on the opposite side fired another shot, which hit a pile of rubble not far behind the garrison!
The shell penetrated into the pile of rocks and exploded with a bang!
The unlucky guy guarding the city gate had no time to dodge before the impact of the shell and the flying rocks smashed his head on the spot!
"Ah! Ah-"

Suddenly seeing such a bloody scene happening before his eyes, the aide Li Sui, who had been hiding behind the fortifications nearby, started to scream hysterically as his brain burst out, and he looked like he was going crazy and collapsing!
General Qian Chuanzi and General Qian Qian were also terrified when they saw this. This shell almost took his life!

So he tried hard to suppress his dissatisfaction, and under the pressure of the situation, he shouted loudly to the back!

"Um, that what, General Sun Qian, General Liu Ba!"

"Opposite us is Liu Heita, Liu Heizi, who fled to Laishui with Liu Zongmin's troops!"

"They were the ones who fired at us first!"

"No matter how the fight turns out, we are always right!"

"Even if we get to the King of Rebellion, we still have something to say!"

"But brother, I don't have enough manpower!"

"We are all brothers under the command of General Liu Fangliang. It would be bad to watch me being beaten to death here by those bastards!"

"Don't brake behind me!"

"Come up and give me a hand!"

"Don't worry, brothers! Old Qian is not that unreasonable!"

"As long as you help me deal with Liu Heizi now, I will reward you handsomely later!"

Amid the sound of gunfire and cannon fire, Qian Chuanzi shouted at the back at the top of his voice, full of gangster spirit and a sophisticated and worldly-wise tone!
Hearing the sound, Xiao Jingchuan's men, who were behind the second line of fortification in front of Qian Chuanzi's barracks, cleverly hid out of the range of gunfire. They were holding back their laughter and exchanging glances with each other.

"General, this grandson is really mercenary. What should I do?"

Li Huchen covered his mouth and leaned close to Xiao Lang's ear to try to find out how to respond next.

Xiao Jingchuan glanced at Qiu Zhizhong beside him alertly, and evil thoughts came to his mind, and he whispered to Hu Chen.

After hearing this wonderful method, Li Huchen was overjoyed and shouted back in imitation of the method.

"Mr. Qian!"

"If it weren't for my brother, I wouldn't help!"

"The truth is that what you are doing now with your friendly troops is not a serious fight at all!"

"I'm not sure what Governor Liu's attitude is towards this kind of thing!" "It's not impossible for me to help you kill those bastards on the other side, but these brothers in my hands have followed me all the way here, and they won't get any benefits, and they will suffer casualties. After the matter is over, they will be implicated and punished. I have no explanation for this to my brothers!"

Li Huchen's reply was brilliant, and the meaning of his words was obvious. It was truly the behavior of a soldier and a businessman who would only do what would bring him profit.

He was choking on the string of money and was speechless for a moment.

Unexpectedly, not only did I not gain any advantage with this trick, but I was defeated by someone stronger than me!

He felt extremely depressed, but then he thought again, there was no other way now. Seeing that his soldiers were getting fewer and fewer, and the enemy's firepower was fierce and their arrogance was strong, if he continued like this, until all his men were exhausted, then the so-called brother troops behind him would not dare to help!
Instead of doing that, why not take a gamble!
He would risk all his resources. Even if his entire team was wiped out, as long as he could catch Liu Heizi on the opposite side and make a big fuss about it, Liu Zongmin would surely suffer the consequences in front of King Chuang.

My superior Liu Fangliang and Liu Zongmin have always been at odds with each other. If I do this in Laishui and report it to the governor-general, he will surely be very happy. If Liu Fangliang is happy, and if he is willing to promote me, then it is not impossible for me to take a step forward and be promoted directly to the position of deputy general!
After thinking about this, Qian Chuanzi's pair of thieving eyes suddenly lit up again, and finally a slight smile appeared on his face.

Li Sui, his aide beside him, had no time to care about General Qian's plan at this moment. His Kung Fu eyes seemed to have become a different person. This man had just been picked up from the city and joined the army not long ago. He had never seen the bloody scenes of killing on the battlefield before, and he was extremely timid.

After witnessing the tragic death of the city gate guard in front of him, he went insane after seeing it.

Right before his eyes, while Qian Chuanzi was calculating, this man was still struggling and torturing himself beside him. He must have completely collapsed.

So, at this moment, he suddenly shouted, stood up from the fortifications, and rushed back!
But, it was a matter of time and fate. Before the man could take a few steps, the bullet heading north caught up with him!

One shot, two shots, three shots!
Li Sui's first battle with the army was so unclear, ineffective and without any achievement that he was shot into a sieve by Qian Chuanzi, the commander of the Yu army!
It all happened so fast that Qian Chuanzi didn't even have time to move.

From what he saw now, Li Sui was already dead, and Qian Chuanzi became more ruthless.

He grabbed some rubble and threw it at Li Sui to vent his anger, while at the same time he shouted loudly at the position of Xiao Jingchuan's troops.

"Captain Liu!"

"I won't talk nonsense to other brothers!"

"More than half of my brothers have been killed. It's going to be a fight between me and Liu Heizi today, either me or him!"

"The guy on the other side has better firearms than us. If we keep wasting time like this, it won't be a big deal!"

"Old Qian, I'm not going to live today!"

"I will be ready to lead my brothers to attack in a moment!"

"Captain Liu!"

"I, Old Qian, don't ask you to lead the troops to fight in the front. All I ask is that you help to hold on if we are defeated later!"

"It's not easy for you to lead the brothers out, and you're also worried about the consequences!"

"I, Old Qian, would never do something like taking advantage of others for free and then shirking responsibility!"

"Well, I'll pay for the brothers' travel expenses this time!"

"In the past few days in Laishui City, I have just confiscated more than 20,000 taels of dirty silver. They are now given to you, Captain Liu!"

"It's not much money, it's a bit shabby, just use it to buy some wine for the brothers! It will be worth all the hard work!"

"When I return to Zijing Pass, I will personally report this matter to General Liu. If I get any reward, you can rest assured, General Liu. I will never forget your kindness, and I will repay you in the future!"

"Captain Liu, what do you think?!"
