Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate
Chapter 40: Search of Zhang's Residence
The troops acted quickly. Zhang Sheng's second battalion was the first to enter Xinyuan County from the west gate, pass through the county and exit from the east gate, attacking the troops outside the east gate.
As Zhang Sheng ran, he urged, "Hurry, hurry, hurry, everyone behind you catch up."
During this expedition, the 1st Guard Regiment's mission was to launch surprise attacks on small county towns most of the time. They did not fight many serious battles, and Zhang Sheng felt that it was not satisfying.
Although destroying five hundred people is not a big battle, it is better to have a battle than not have one.
Xie Yuan did not have the same feeling as Zhang Sheng. He led his troops to the outside of Zhang's mansion and surrounded it.
Xie Yuan ordered: "You go and blow up the gate, and the rest of you get ready to attack. Don't let anyone escape. If you encounter anyone who resists, shoot them on the spot."
"Yes." After receiving the order, several soldiers ran to the gate of Zhang's house, hung a few grenades, and then returned.
"boom."
A few seconds later, there was a loud bang and a big hole was blown in the gate. The soldiers stepped forward, pushed open the broken door and rushed in.
The doorman was awakened by the explosion. He asked, "Who are you? What do you want to do? This is Zhang's house."
"We have been ordered to search Zhang's house. Anyone who resists will be shot on the spot." A soldier stepped forward and knocked him down with the butt of his rifle.
Hearing the soldier say this, the doorman fell silent. What's the big deal, whether it's Zhang Mansion or not? The most important thing is to save his life.
"Pah, pah."
Some guards heard the noise and came out to check the situation. When they saw the soldiers, they did not panic and took out their weapons to shoot at the soldiers.
These guards were more cultured than some of the warlords' soldiers. They injured a soldier on the spot. One of them was unlucky and was hit in the chest. He fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then died.
"Da da da……"
"Suddenly..."
Seeing that one of their comrades was shot, the other soldiers did not show any mercy and took out their weapons and started shooting.
Under automatic fire, several guards fell under the muzzle of the gun, and the remaining guards leaned against the wall and fired sideways.
Although some soldiers were shot, more guards were killed by machine guns. Seeing that seven or eight soldiers were killed or injured, Xie Yuan said angrily, "Throw grenades."
Several soldiers pulled the rings of grenades and threw them at the guards behind the wall.
"boom."
"boom."
After several grenade explosions, several soldiers rushed in and fired a few bursts of shots at the corpses on the ground. After confirming that there were no survivors, they continued to search the mansion.
Each soldier given by the system was equipped with two grenades, but after many battles, most of them were used up, and only a few still carried grenades.
Fang Jian exchanged a thousand grenades once, but they were all consumed in the training of the new troops. He remembered to exchange the grenades when he changed weapons later.
With grenades clearing the way, the enemy's guards who were resisting stubbornly were slowly eliminated, and the guards in the mansion were also continuously eliminated.
A guard leader, with two guards, came to Zhang Xumin's room and said, "Master, hurry up. There are many soldiers coming. We brothers can't stop them."
"Do you know who it is?" Zhang Xumin had just heard the gunshots, so he put on his clothes and sat at the tea table. He was a little panicked at this moment.
Although he often speaks harshly sometimes, he is definitely not capable of doing anything big. He is fine for sabotaging behind the scenes, but when it comes to actually fighting, he is the most cowardly one.
The head of the guards sighed and said, "Judging from their attire, they should be the county magistrate's men."
"How dare he? How dare he?" Zhang Xumin stood up in shock.
He couldn't understand how Francis Xavier dared to resist when he had already joined forces with the mayor and the commander of the garrison to force him.
They were regular troops, numbering a regiment, while Francis Xavier's men numbered only a few hundred at most.
Thinking of this, he sat down again and forced himself to calm down.
After arriving in Xinyuan County, Zhang Wei's battalion had been stationed outside the city, so he always thought that Fang Jian's troops were not large in number.
The leader of the guards advised: "Master, as long as the green mountains are there, there will be no shortage of firewood. Escape first, it will be too late when the enemy rushes in."
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Xumin seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw.
There are still hundreds of troops stationed outside the city. As long as I escape and reach the military camp outside the city, Fang Jian will not be able to do anything to me.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly urged: "Quick, quick, quick, escort me out of the city."
When the leader of the guards saw Zhang Xumin like this, he immediately felt a little contemptuous. Why didn't he see before that he would be so panic-stricken when encountering things?
As soon as the four men walked out of the room, two soldiers came over. The leader of the guards raised his gun and started shooting without saying a word.
With two "bang" sounds, two soldiers were beaten to death.
Seeing the soldiers being beaten to death, Zhang Xumin was shocked and his hands and feet could not help shaking. The leader of the guards did not dare to hesitate and immediately ordered: "Go quickly."
"I, I can't walk anymore. Who of you can carry me?" The two guards were about to catch up, and seeing this, Zhang Xumin had to speak up.
The two guards looked at each other, neither of them wanted to go, and the guard leader pointed at one of the guards and said, "Third brother, you carry the master on your back."
The leader of the guards had already made up his mind that he would extort some money from Zhang Xumin and then run away.
I don't know whether Zhang Xumin can escape this disaster. Those who attacked the mansion were all soldiers, and they were so fierce.
He had never thought about escaping alone. They had no money. How would they survive without Zhang Xumin? At least they had to get some money from him before leaving.
The guard who was called out squatted down reluctantly, carried Zhang Xumin on his back, and several people ran towards his back.
Arriving at the back door, the guard leader was excited. He was finally going to escape. He couldn't help but say, "Let's go. Speed up. We'll be safe once we get out of the mansion."
Unfortunately, after opening the back door, they were greeted by the black muzzle of a gun and bullets.
After a burst of gunfire, all three guards were hit. Zhang Xumin, who was on the guard's back, was also hit in the arm. He quickly shouted, "Don't shoot, don't shoot, I surrender, I surrender."
As soon as he finished shouting, the guard who was carrying him had no strength left and he was thrown off his body. The guard who was carrying him also slowly fell to the ground without a sound.
The other two, including the guard leader, also fell to the ground and were dead.
Zhang Xumin was startled. He had always been under protection and had never been frightened like this.
Although his arm was injured, he held it in and didn't dare to shout out. What if he made the enemy soldiers angry and shot him to death?
Fortunately, he was being carried on the guard's back and blocked the bullet, otherwise he would have been shot in the arm.
Xie Yuan arranged two squads of soldiers to guard the back door to prevent anyone from escaping.
One of them asked: "Should we arrest this man or just kill him?"
"Keep it for now and wait for the battalion commander's decision." said another person.
Another person said helplessly: "Well, that's a bargain for him."
Soon the mansion was cleared, and the guards who resisted were killed. The guards, maids, and servants who surrendered were all taken out.
Listening to the casualty figures reported by the soldiers, Xie Yuan's face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.
