After negotiating a little, Ning Yi moved two barrels of explosives on the carriage after leaving the Qian's house. Even in the army these days, firearms such as explosives and bamboo guns are not mainstream, and it is impossible for the Qian family to keep them. These two barrels are because the last time Ning Yi sent someone to ask for gunpowder, the Qian family steward was in the ordnance supervision department. Ning Yi asked about the extra, and took it away. He still had some leftover ingredients for mixing gunpowder, so he just took it back and made it.
At this time, although Hangzhou City was also mixed with a lot of Fang La's people, it was basically controlled by Wude Camp's men. It can be heard from Qian Xiwen's words that everyone still has some confidence in this situation. But it is impossible to put eggs in one basket. What Ning Yi has to do is not to make plans for defending the city, but to make perfect preparations and plan ahead, so Qian Xiwen is also happy to see it happen.
If the official court departments make everyone prepare for the collapse of the city, the residents of the city will inevitably be more panicked. The first thought of the wealthy households who are notified is not to fight against the enemy with one heart, but how to save their own family. But if Ning Yi is the first to lead the line as a big family, it will appear that everyone is worried about their own affairs. Even if there are dissidents who only care about themselves, there must be a lot of people fleeing, but the level of contribution is stronger than that of the army. .
After negotiating the beginning of this matter with Qian Xiwen, Ning Yi relaxed a little and started to drive back. At this time, the fire spreading in the north of the city should have been brought under control. In the clear morning sky, the black smoke column flew with the wind at the other side of the field of vision. As Xiaochan said before, it just started to rain. If someone hadn't deliberately lit fires everywhere, those houses that had been soaked by the heavy rain for four days would not have spread to the momentum of the morning.
The carriages galloped along the way, and although most of the people only stayed in the blocks where they lived, there were still some people on the streets that were accessible at this time. Or they ran out to check the information, or they dragged their families to meet their relatives, and some of them probably wanted to go to the southern port to squeeze a sea boat to escape, so they carried large and small packages, and they were terrified. After a while, there was another sound coming from the Qiantangmen in the west of the city.
After such a distance, the sound of the battle over there was actually inaudible, but it was like a tidal surge in the middle of the night or a dull thunder in the distant sky. The shock and the depressing feeling of fighting came over. Ning Yi drove forward, and the fighting at the distant city gate continued, intensified and never stopped.
Then, some real haze and chaotic atmosphere also appeared on the way to Taiping Lane.
Some of the battles that happened in the city seemed to be close to each other, with a small number of wounded soldiers. In the distance, Ning Yi also saw a team rushing across the street. It seems that after the people who were in the north of the city in the morning were washed away, some people have been chased by the army towards this side. This chilling atmosphere has shrouded the neighborhood. Going forward, the number of people on the road has become less and less. When passing a waterway, there is the sound of fighting and shouting in the opposite street. Looking from this side, there is a faint It was a few rioters who rushed into one of the courtyards and slashed and killed several fu and children. The courtyard walls and buildings on the waterway side of the street had collapsed, so Ning Yi could also see a general idea.
Although such streets and alleys also organized their own youth guards like Taiping Alley, but they rushed over, and the young people who had never really seen blood were not opponents at all. Amidst the sound, screams, and the sound of warning gongs, the seven or eight gangsters had already rushed out of the yard on one side, and in the street where people were scrambling, a man took a huge wooden stick and went over to fight. That momentum suddenly forced the bandit back, but even then he was cut off by a few knives, forcing him to retreat toward the water's edge, and was then chopped to the ground by a blood-stained bandit.
At this time, there were fu and young people and young men in the alley, but they were completely overwhelmed by the momentum of seven or eight chaotic bandits. There were screams and cries, but after a young man who was about to pounce was cut down, no one could come to save the fallen man for a while. The blood-stained bandit approached with a knife, the man on the ground crawled back desperately, and then Xiong was slashed in the mouth, then another knife, another knife... A fu man holding a child leaned against him about two In the corner of meters away, desperately crying. The man on the ground kept trying to crawl away. After a while, blood flowed all over his body. He climbed to the edge of the waterway, unable to move. The bandit slashed a few times before kicking the corpse into the water and cursing in dialect: "Come on, let's take a look with Lao Tzu!"
At this time, the sound of the army rushing over has been vaguely heard. A companion patted him on the shoulder and called him to go. He turned to go, but turned around abruptly the next moment, but he saw Ning Yi's carriage that was parked here because he was watching the battle. He looked around to see what he wanted to grab and throw here. Then, suddenly rushed towards the crying fu and the child not far away.
The gangster wanted to snatch the swaddle from the fu man's arms, the fu man held it tightly, screaming and shaking his head desperately, the gangster grabbed a few times, tore out a piece of cloth on the swaddling coat, and the next moment raised the steel knife sharply. The ground slashed down, and he slashed a few times, blood all over the ground. Watching this scene, there was a lot of shouting and crying in the streets, and Ning Yi watched it without blinking. The rogue took a few more steps, broke off half a green brick from the wall, and threw it violently.
This is just a small waterway, no more than ten meters wide. The man threw it accurately. The sound of breaking wind came straight to Ning Yi's door. Ning Yi tilted his head, and the blue bricks the size of steamed buns slammed on the other side of the carriage. On the door frame, it fell along the cotton curtain, and the steel knife in the hands of the robber pointed to this side, laughed grimly, and then turned around and left with his companions.
Ning Yi sat there for two seconds, raising the whip to drive the car away, but the next moment, he frowned and put down the whip, grabbed the bricks that fell on the car, jumped off the carriage, and ran two steps. He threw the blue brick back hard. With a loud bang, it crossed the waterway in an instant, and the blood burst open. The gangster was startled, and it was indeed a companion who was nearly two meters away with the back of his head being smashed by a blue brick, and he fell forward to the ground, and the blood-stained brick fell further forward.
Missing a hit, Ning Yi stood by the water and took a breath, clasping his hands on his face and squeezing a little. When the bandits on the opposite side looked over, Ning Yi looked around at the ground beside him. It was full of dirt and turf, and he couldn't see any bricks in his hand. There was a violent drink from the rear, and then someone screamed. Probably that person was angry and killed someone with a knife. Ning Yi didn't look back and didn't look.
The streets and alleys in this city are not all as incapable of resistance as the streets just now. Some nursing homes in large families have seen blood after all, or there are martial arts halls and security bureaus, and their resistance can be greatly increased. But the average young and strong, unless they bully the few, can play an extremely limited role. The people Fang La sent into the city this time should basically be elite players, just like the kind of people who kill and kill red eyes just now. They can't save themselves. Even if ordinary young people have learned some martial arts in the martial arts hall, they have not really experienced fighting. Gotta be knocked down too.
At this time, it seemed that after the chaos in the north of the city in the morning, Fang La's subordinates rushed to kill everywhere and were very scattered in the city. Although the Wude Camp controlled Hangzhou City, the main force was still placed near the city wall. As for the hunters in the city, even if they were scattered, they could not really control the overall situation for a while, and these things happened now. But come to think of it, it shouldn't last this morning.
But this chaos has temporarily shrouded himself in, and he has no way to avoid or turn back for a while. In order to rush to Taiping Lane, Ning Yi made a detour several times. When he reached an intersection, about two dozen officers and soldiers rushed out, chasing and killing two bandits and hacking them to death at the intersection. The officer at the head was a bearded man with a fierce appearance, and pointed at Ning Yi with a knife: "Who is it!"
Ning Yi took out the token, and then took out a document issued by the Qian family, explaining that he was going back to Taiping Lane. The bearded officer chased and killed the gangsters, panting and ferocious, but after reading the certificate, he looked at Ning Yi's scholar's dress, and after a little inspection, he shouted, "There are gangsters here, and we are about to arrest the culprits. , you can't drive a carriage over there, take a detour! Detour!" Although there was gunpowder in the car, the certificate Ning Yi brought at this time had a very high level of authority, and with the token of Commander Du, this bearded officer was not very good. say what.
These people are doing things for their own reasons. Ning Yi didn't think he had the right to rampage, so he had to take a detour for a while. After turning around again, when he reached a fork in the road, he saw that the road on the side was almost red, and hundreds of corpses were on the street. It stretched out into the distance, and I don't know what kind of battles have been experienced here. There are the bodies of officers and soldiers, as well as the bodies of a small number of bandits, including civilians who were reached by Bo. The surrounding streets and alleys were as quiet as if they were dead. The humming of the city spread over, and in the distance was the sound of fighting from Qiantangmen.
Ning Yi turned his horse's head and walked towards the other side of the road. After turning two streets, there was a sound coming from the courtyard of a rich man. There was a buzzing movement. This family should have collapsed a lot of buildings in this earthquake, but the wall along the street is still quite long, and there are gaps in some places, but I can't see what's inside. It was getting louder and louder, as if someone was rushing towards this side.
Ning Yi was about to speed up. At a gap in front of the street, a gangster with a red-faced name rushed onto the street and looked at Ning Yi. Ning Yi wanted to turn the car around and looked back. There were also a few people who climbed out of the fence, and one of them, a man with a steel whip, shouted towards this side: "That's the killer! Leave the car behind! Several brothers! Grab his car and set it on fire to kill those dog officers and soldiers!"
In this person's shout, several people in front of the road were already rushing towards this side, and the first one was holding a hammer, which was extremely fierce. Ning Yi was dressed as a scholar at this time, and looked at the front and back for a long time. He could hardly control the moving carriage and fell off. He got up in a panic, ran towards a gap in the wall on the other side, and ran out. After more than 20 meters, Ning Yi looked back in the small yard where the room had collapsed. On the road behind, someone swiftly rushed into the carriage, grabbed the reins, and pulled the restless horse with one hand. Live, heroic and bright red.
Ning Yi stepped back and took a few steps, frowning at the sight, and covered his sleeve to his mouth.
"Fuck you..."
Inside the car curtain, a flame of light burned to the end, someone lifted the curtain, and the light bloomed.
There was a loud bang, and the flames shot into the sky, swallowing up the distortion of the human face and the mad barking of the horses. A human body was blasted into the sky, the flames rose, and the air flow flew, messing up Ning Yi's clothes and shattered limbs. Fall in front of your eyes. After a few seconds, he turned and started running, almost still buzzing in his ears, someone crazy big guy: "Kill him kill him kill him—for my son of a bitch—"
The uninjured people chased after him.
With a bang, Ning Yi broke through a swaying wooden door, and while the wood chips were flying, he pulled out a steel knife from the side of his robe. ... ro! .
