22:30 PM (:)
Xiao Jingchuan ordered Qiu Zhizhong and Liu Wenbing's troops to look for clues about the hidden silver provided by the money scammers, and to lead troops to confiscate and verify the amount of money and divide it into packages to prepare for the retreat with the silver.
At the same time, the two thousand shi of grain had to be taken away, leaving no time to distribute it to the people.
The incident happened suddenly, and we had to rush to Laishui City. Time was pressing and we were afraid that the enemy would chase us from behind, so the entire army had to evacuate as soon as possible after cleaning up the supplies.
The mission to clear out the remaining enemy bandits in the city was gradually coming to an end.
Sun Peizhong led his troops back before Huchen, and Xiao Jingchuan ordered him to work with Gong Yonggu's troops to do their best to confiscate firearms and ammunition as well as enemy uniforms and armor on the battlefield.
The two-foot-long small tiger squat cannon originally equipped in Liu Heita's army weighed only about thirty-six pounds each, and was very small.
Xiao Lang was very happy to see this and decided to take all nine guns back. However, he had to give up the Portuguese cannon because it was relatively heavy and take care of other things.
At 7:15 pm, after Qiu Zhizhong had properly dealt with related matters, he returned to the main street to report to Xiao Jingchuan.
At this moment, Xiao Lang also pulled out all 300 war horses he had obtained and temporarily used them to carry weapons and equipment on the main street.
Especially since he now had a yellow horse in front of him, which was tall and strong, Xiao Jingchuan loved it very much and wanted to try riding it to patrol the streets.
"Old Xiao!"
"Old Xiao!" Zhizhong approached quickly.
"Oh? Feiyu (Qiu Zhizhong), have you cleared out all the silver and food?" Xiao Jingchuan asked with a smile as he mounted his yellow horse.
"Well, don't worry, everything has been assigned, and the soldiers are ready to go. Lord Liu Wenbing will take care of them for the time being."
"I rushed back to report because I want to ask you about the specific evacuation time?!" Zhizhong replied.
Hearing this, Xiao Lang nodded in understanding and suddenly raised his hand and pointed backwards.
"Look, Peizhong and Gong Yonggu are still leading the team to clean up the weapons and equipment. I'm afraid it will take a while to finish."
After Xiao Lang finished speaking, Qiu Zhizhong breathed a sigh of relief.
He took two steps closer again, turned his gaze, and put his hand on the yellow horse under Xiao Lang.
"What a good horse! What a good horse!"
"But Lao Xiao!"
"These war horses are good, but we have to cross mountains and hills on our way back, and we may not be able to take them with us!"
"What do you want to do by bringing them here?" Qiu Zhizhong was puzzled and asked again.
"Hey, I know that. It's impossible to take them into the mountains!" "But now that our route has been exposed, it's still possible to let these horses take us a ride on the 20 or 30 miles north to Shigui Mountain!"
"It can save some walking time at least!"
"Oh, by the way, the black horse at the back is for you, go and try it out."
"This Liu Heizi rarely fights, but he does keep his horses well. They are fat and strong. They are really rare to see!"
Xiao Lang laughed and Zhizhong became interested. He quickly came behind Xiao Jingchuan and jumped in front of the big black horse led by the soldiers.
"Okay, okay!"
"This horse is really well-bred!"
"Come on, Lao Xiao, let's let the horses run free and go for a walk. How about that?"
"Haha, okay! Let's go!"
While they were talking and laughing, the two men drove their horses and strolled north along another wide alley beside the main street.
After a while, the two brothers rode their horses about a hundred or two hundred steps forward.
Suddenly, I saw a disaster happening ahead!
Bang!
A loud bang!
Xiao and Qiu suddenly stopped and looked where the noise came from. They saw that in front of a tall house on the west street, the door panel was suddenly knocked open for some reason, causing the people inside to fly out!
As the door of the house fell to the ground, several people panicked and fled out of the open door!
The scene was chaotic for a moment!
Meanwhile, a bald-headed man dressed in shorts and a servant's attire also staggered out!
After escaping from the door, this man hesitated and stood there. Seeing the others who came out with him fleeing in panic, he hesitated to move forward, which was very abrupt.
Not far away, Qiu Zhizhong looked over, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and spoke in a low voice.
"Eh? Old Xiao!"
"Look, that bald guy in front of you, isn't he the scoundrel from Yuhufeng Village?!"
Zhizhong recovered and looked forward immediately. Seeing that the man looked familiar, he turned his head and asked Xiao Jingchuan.
"Yes, that's right, it is that rogue village bastard, Lai Er!" Xiao Lang also looked straight ahead and answered with a frown.
At the same time, when the two were talking, Lai Er from the door of the house seemed to have noticed the presence of Xiao and Qiu, so he turned around and looked over here!
Six eyes facing each other!
Lai Er was a little dazed!
His eyes met Xiao Jingchuan, and it was obvious that this man had recognized Xiao Lang who was currently on the horse!
However, there was no need for Lai Er to take any further action.
boom!
Through the open door of the tall house, there was a hallway, and there was a sound like thunder and the sound of a gun being fired!
The bullet was fired from inside at high speed!
Suddenly, without any warning, it shot straight towards Lai Er's head!
puff!
Immediately, blood splattered everywhere!
The moment Lai Er turned around and looked back, he had no reaction and his body froze there!
This cold shot directly blew his head off!
"what--"
"Ah! Killing!"
Everything happened so suddenly that the people near the door seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then screams were heard one after another!
The remaining servants and maids were extremely frightened!
There were even more people pushing and shoving their way out of the doorway!
Bang, bang!
boom!
Needless to say, several shots were fired again from Gao's house!
Xiao Jingchuan, who was standing on horseback not far outside the house, was not sure about the situation, so he could not drive his horse forward rashly. He just stood there and watched carefully, waiting for the opportunity to strike back!
boom!
Another shot, for no reason!
A hail of gunfire triggered a bullet in the back of a young man in brocade clothes in front of the door. After Lai Er, he was the second one to fall to the ground and die. He was unlucky enough to die from the hail of gunfire!
