In front of the Zhu Mansion, the two groups of people were staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes, but they still maintained some restraint. However, the moment the roar and killing sounds were heard in the mansion, the situation changed. The hundreds of Zhu Meng's soldiers who had been guarding the gate with swords had already rushed forward like ferocious wolves with fangs and claws exposed, killing the soldiers brought by Sun Tu.
The two leaders, one named Li Shi and the other Fang Lang, were both well-known masters in the south of the Yangtze River. They were hired by Zhu Meng with huge sums of money as guards, but this time they planned to show off their skills to gain the attention of their master. The two of them used swords and swords, working in tacit understanding, and quickly approached from left to right. In just one ups and downs, they had already reached the soldiers on the opposite side.
In the eyes of these Jianghu people, ordinary soldiers are nothing at all. Not to mention compared with themselves, even ordinary bandits and bandits are more difficult to deal with than them. Today, in order to perform well, they did not hold back at all. They did not wait for others to follow, and the two of them took the lead and killed them.
Then, they saw a scene that made them shocked and regretful. Before they could hand over their swords, the hundreds of Shandong soldiers already shouted from under their clothes and revealed a row of crossbows with arrows already strung. Without any hesitation, the hanging knife fell, and twenty or thirty sharp arrows shot out of the air with sharp whistling.
There was a saying in later generations that no matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you are still afraid of kitchen knives. Obviously, the lethality of these crossbows is much higher than that of kitchen knives. No matter how skilled and courageous Li Shi is, they are still frightened when they see this scene. He hurriedly twisted his body to dodge, and at the same time, he quickly recovered the weapon in his hand that was supposed to be used for stabbing, and swung it around to cover his body to defend himself.
But even though the two reacted quickly enough, they were still not able to withstand the barrage of crossbow arrows from a distance of less than ten steps. They only had time to fire two or three sharp arrows, and the two of them were hit one after another. Blood spurted out, and their bodies quickly fell backwards.
Then, a sharp arrow with a tricky angle went directly through Fang Lang's fine knife net, and nailed into his neck with a chirp, causing him to fall down on his back without even being able to scream!
Although Li Shi was hit by several arrows, his mind was still clear. At this time, while trying his best to release the arrows, he kept shouting: "They just have these few crossbows, kill me!" But he was greeting those behind him. The subordinates were obviously startled and slowed down their movements.
With his greeting, the others mustered up the courage to charge forward again, and then let out a desperate roar. Because after a round of arrows was discharged, and people thought that they would have a gap to get closer, the soldiers on the opposite side actually pulled and flicked the crossbow, then buckled the hanging knife again, and then a new rain of arrows came towards them. Come, and they just strode to grab it, as if they were bumping into Jianyu's head.
The arrows entered the body and screams suddenly broke out. Li Shi was hit by several arrows in a row. He was covered in blood, but he stared ahead with reluctance. He wanted to fight again, but he was severely injured and his body was bleeding profusely and it was difficult to support him. His legs weakened and he fell to the ground.
It was only then that the Shandong Army officers and soldiers gave out a shout, showed their swords and guns, and quickly rushed forward. Even if it was just a small-scale battle, they still maintained the habit they had developed over a long time, forming a military formation that could support each other. Using swords and guns simultaneously, they were like a sophisticated killing machine, quickly killing the remaining few. Ten enemies who were still waiting to resist were crushed and killed!
This battle started suddenly and ended even more quickly
, almost in the time of tea, the Zhufu guards who were the first to attack were completely wiped out, leaving no one alive, while the casualties of the Shandong Army were almost zero. But they were not at all happy. With a cry, the army formation rushed to the half-closed door of Zhu's Mansion, stepping on the blood and corpses of the enemy. In just one collision, the door was opened, and then they started again. Go straight into it.
Just as this group of people rushed into Zhu's mansion, the doors of several houses half a street away suddenly opened, and one or two thousand soldiers hiding inside quickly poured out. They were the generals who cooperated with Zhu Meng and secretly arranged to hide here. After learning that the change had occurred, they rushed out and wanted to follow the plan.
But at this moment, in front of the long street, a thunderbolt suddenly shot straight into the air. At the same time, at the ends of the markets on both sides, thousands of troops were already rumbling over, launching a pincer attack on them from both sides. This frightened the combined forces of the generals and pro-army forces, who were not under each other's control and who did not have much preparation and could not even assemble the entire team for a while. They were stunned on the spot for a moment.
Before, when these troops moved to hide, the Shandong Army did not respond. But not responding does not mean that you are unaware of their actions, nor does it mean that you will just let them go. In fact, they had already prepared corresponding measures. As soon as the enemy moved, two groups of elite soldiers rushed forward like pliers. In just a moment, they were in front of these people, causing many of them to shrink back in fear.
The terrifying murderous intent condensed by the Shandong Army after hundreds of battles is not something that the Xiang Army in these places can handle. They don't even need to fight, and they have completely suppressed the opponent in terms of momentum.
At this moment, loud horns sounded outside Suzhou City. Under the light of torches, soldiers and horses came up from all sides. Someone even shouted: "We are ordered by Commander Zhu to eradicate the rebellion! Listen up and down the Shandong Army. If you are wise, quickly open the city and surrender, otherwise you will be left to die without a burial place, ah!" The last shout was because The man rushed too fast and was hit by a sharp arrow.
Immediately, the top of the city also lit up with fire. Dong Ping, Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and other generals all looked down with ashen faces. Beside them, there were countless soldiers holding crossbows and holding crossbows. Pots and pans were boiling with soup and oil, and there were even a dozen bed crossbows not far away pointing straight down. Although he didn't say any harsh words, his intention to defend the city and keep strangers away had already been conveyed.
The Shandong Army was actually prepared early in the morning? !
When the first group of people were shot with random arrows and turned their backs on their backs, and retreated in panic, the rest of the group suddenly woke up. The generals who commanded the army on their behalf hurriedly shouted to stop the entire army - but in fact, they did not need to waste this effort. As the city head showed up in a prepared posture, their subordinate soldiers had stopped moving forward. With the courage and combat power of these Xiang army soldiers, they were not even sure of fighting the enemy in the wild, let alone directly attacking a high-walled and fortified city that had been well prepared.
In an instant, the 100,000 troops outside Suzhou City were stunned on the spot. Even though Zhu Meng's generals shouted and waved their flags, the troops and horses were still stationed a mile or two away from the city, daring not to make the slightest move.
This improvised anti-Shandong coalition was obviously not of one mind. If things go well and all the armies can cooperate and storm into Suzhou City, everyone will be able to rob and make a fortune. But once such enemies appear in front of them and are already on guard, Suzhou City will be completely destroyed.
When it comes to a piece of hard bone that cannot be chewed off and will break the teeth in the mouth, these troops immediately shrink back, thinking of self-preservation as the top priority.
As a result, a strange scene unfolded. Although the shouts continued, no one of the Song troops who surrounded them could actually kill them, so they faced off awkwardly. Obviously, it is impossible to expect soldiers and horses from outside the city to rush in and support Zhu Meng and others in the city.
In fact, even if they really bravely charge forward at this time, miraculously break through the city gate and enter Suzhou, they can no longer help Zhu Meng. Because at this time, he had already been defeated at the feet of Sun Tu in an extremely embarrassed manner, truly defeated at his feet!
Although there were killing sounds outside the house and even outside the city, they kept coming to the courtyard, but Sun Tu didn't even frown. He still stepped on Zhu Meng steadily with his foot, and his eyes were as sharp as arrows, shooting straight at those who were thinking around him. Zhu Meng's personal guard, who wanted to step forward but did not have the courage, did not even mention the knife in his hand: "Zhu Meng, I have given you many opportunities, but you still refuse to repent. It seems that there is a saying that really says That’s right, a dog will never change its habit of eating shit!”
The extremely insulting words reached his ears. Even though Zhu Meng's life was hanging by a thread at the moment, he turned livid with anger and screamed: "Sun Tu, how dare you insult me like this! Do you really think that the court can't deal with you? I'm sure I want to destroy your three clans..."
"Hahaha, I'm afraid you don't have this chance anymore!" Sun Tu smiled up at the sky, full of disdain: "I might as well tell you the truth, even if you don't want to attack me today, I will find an opportunity to kill you for the sake of the people. Harmful! You have brought disaster to the country and the people in Jiangnan, harmed countless people, and even caused such a big mess. The emperor’s court refuses to deal with you, and God refuses to accept you, so let me do it!"
"Sun Tu, how dare you!" When the guards in the front saw Sun Tu saying this, they seemed to be trying to thrust the knives in their hands downwards. They suddenly screamed in shock. At the same time, dozens of people ran out from behind. They are all Zhu Meng's confidants, as well as his two sons.
They originally hid in the backyard for safety, but successive changes made it impossible for them to hide, so they had no choice but to run out. When they saw them, Xue Xian and Zhu Meng's eldest son Zhu Hai even screamed: " Sun Tu, if you dare to kill an important official of the imperial court, you are committing treason!"
Along with them, there were hundreds of Sun Tu's personal guards. As soon as they rushed into the courtyard and saw the situation in the hall, they drew their crossbows and fired arrows without saying a word. They shot over twenty or thirty of them in an instant without any reaction. Zhu Meng's personal soldiers came over, frightening the others and quickly ducked to the side.
Zhu Meng was really anxious at this time. He completely exposed his mischievous character and shouted angrily: "Sun Tu, I am the Jiangnan Road Jiedushi entrusted by the official family. I am in the second rank. Kill me." Even if you rebel, the three tribes will be razed to the ground, leaving no intact corpses!"
"Hahaha..." Sun Tu suddenly laughed wildly and replied loudly: "I, Sun Tu, was born in this world, what is there that I dare not do? Killing you is just like slaughtering a pig or a dog!" As soon as the words came out, the man quickly bent down, He stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhu Meng, and then stabbed out the knife in his hand.
There was only a puff sound, and the long knife penetrated Zhu Meng's fat chest hard, and blood suddenly spurted out! This kind of posture is really like a butcher slaughtering pigs and dogs!
&&&&&&
Pig (Zhu) is being killed today, why don't you all vote to celebrate? . . . .
