Xie Ming

Chapter 76 A great victory
"Sir, please stop playing tricks on me!"

"Your men are all watching me! If I show my head, my head will be gone!"

"Master, I have a proposal!"

"Let's cease fire for a quarter of an hour. If you have any conditions, just let me know. I can also move money out for you!"

Ma Dabanzi's current situation can be summed up in one word: delay!

The longer it drags on, the more stable the bandits on his side who have retreated to the second line of defense will be. If they take a breath and summon back their frightened souls, they will be able to hold out for a while!
But Xiao Jingchuan knew what he was thinking.

Xiao Lang saw that the tiger squat cannon beside him had been pulled into place, and he was unwilling to delay any longer, fearing that the delay would affect morale, so he shouted at the top of his voice.

"Ma Dabangzi!"

"Don't give your face shame!"

"I'll count to three at the end!"

"If you don't come out, we will attack!"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"Changting, light the fire!"

As soon as Xiao Jingchuan said this, Chang Ting and another soldier under his command lit the fuse at the same time.

dong dong!

There were two loud bangs. The power of the horizontally fired Tiger Crouching Cannon was even more exaggerated. The two shells shot out towards the middle of the stone trench. They exploded immediately upon contact, instantly blasting a big gap in the solid stone trench that was filled with rice slurry.

Shrapnel and debris flew everywhere, and bandits were killed and wounded all over a large area.

In order to hide, Xiao Jingchuan had not thought of staying away from the cannon. Now, two cannons were fired, right next to his ears. Xiao Lang was so shocked by the sound of the cannons that his ears were buzzing!
"Soldiers! Charge!" Xiao Jingchuan roared with all his might, ignoring the tinnitus.

Li Huchen, Qi Dayong and others beside him took the lead, threw away their muskets, drew their swords, shouted and rushed into the stone trench through the gap, and fought hand-to-hand with the bandits!

On the other hand, Ma Dabanzi had never expected that the opponent would play this way, so he was unable to predict in advance, resulting in the two shots hitting not far away from where Ma Dabanzi was ducking to avoid.

After two shells, Ma Dabiao was almost killed on the spot, and several small leaders around him and the second in command, Ma Zilian, were also seriously killed or wounded!

Seeing that the boss' life or death was unknown, the bandits who had just calmed down became even more panicked!
There was no point in resisting! Immediately, all the bandits in the second line of defense began to flee in all directions without organization or purpose, like birds and beasts scattered in all directions. The scene was in chaos!
"Kill! Kill!"

Amid the shouts and cries of killing, Xiao Jingchuan also rushed into the gap in the stone trench with the soldiers. Seeing Ma Dabiao half-dead in the rubble, he immediately called Gu Changting.

"Changting! This, this should be Ma Dabangzi!"

"No matter if he's dead or alive, tie him up first and send two people to keep an eye on him. He'll be of great use when we get back to town!"

After hearing what Xiao Jingchuan said, Gu Changting took the order and did his job.

Seeing the current situation, Xiao Lang suddenly jumped up and leaped onto the top of the stone trench, taking in the current situation of the entire mountain village.

According to his estimation, more than a hundred of the so-called 500 bandits in the mountain stronghold were hacked to death by Li Huchen, Qi Dayong and their troops as soon as they entered the first line of fortification.

When they reached the second line of defense, although the fighting was still fierce, the outcome had actually been decided. In addition to those who were fighting in the melee, there were also some people who fled to the two wings in panic, and were surrounded by Ma Minglu, Liu Wenbing and others who cleared them out.

There seemed to be more than 200 people left, retreating in large numbers towards the back of the mountain stronghold!

There, Sun Peizhong must have been waiting for a long time!
"Soldiers!"

"Bring out the same energy you used to chase wild boars in the woods!"

"The mountain bandits have committed many evil deeds and have been killing innocent mountain people for a long time!"

"The crime is unforgivable, they must all be killed!" Xiao Lang, who was standing on a high place, shouted, pulled out his short gun and shot it into the sky!

Seeing his soldiers fighting so bravely, Xiao Jingchuan was delighted from the bottom of his heart!
At this moment, he was excited, thrilled, and refreshed!
Soon, the second line of defense was basically cleared.

After inspecting everything, Gu Changting walked up to Xiao Jingchuan and reported.

"General!"

"The bandits in the mountain stronghold have been basically cleared out! Peizhong is still killing those who are fleeing!"

"A few of them were able to take advantage of the gap ahead and head towards the second ridge at the foot of the mountain. Li Huchen has just sent Qi Dayong to lead a team to chase them. I believe nothing will go wrong!" Gu Changting reported.

"OK!"

"Go tell Ma Minglu to count the casualties of the entire army. Also, organize people to search the armory, granary, gold and silver warehouse in the mountain stronghold!" Xiao Jingchuan ordered.

"Yes!" Gu Changting took the order and ran.

"Oh my! Hahaha, I didn't expect that this gang of bandits is known to be the largest in this area!"

"I didn't expect that you, Old Xiao, would be able to wipe out all the enemies in less than half an hour?!"

"The general is mighty, the soldiers are mighty, I admire you so much, so much, haha!"

Not far away, Qiu Zhizhong rushed forward after the battle, his face full of joy that he couldn't hide at all!
When he came closer, he pretended to be greatly shocked and showed off under Xiao Lang's nose.

"Haha, in this area of ​​Jiulong Town, the Xiaos will have the final say in the future!"

"Haha, Feiyu (Qiu Zhizhong), let's go into Ma Dabanzi's kiln and take a look!"

"See if there's anything new!"

As he spoke, Xiao Lang pulled Qiu Zhizhong and ran towards the large kiln entrance in the middle of the third floor, the highest point.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a large, long table filled with all kinds of food and drinks, and the cups and plates are in a mess.

"Hey, Feiyu (Qiu Zhizhong), see how he lives his life!"

"Looking at this situation, it seems that when we attacked the mountain, Ma Dabiao was still feasting here!"

As he spoke, Xiao Jingchuan took a pig leg from the plate of roast suckling pig in the middle of the long table and started to chew it in an exaggerated manner.

He walked, ate and looked around. The cave was very large. There was a high platform behind the long table. Going up the stairs, there was a large chair on the top, covered with a whole tiger skin!
There are all kinds of curtain decorations on the left and right, boxes, tables, lamps, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, all piled up everywhere on both sides, showing a very luxurious and arrogant style.

But just when Xiao Jingchuan was about to sit on the tiger-skin chair!

suddenly!

A man with a sharp knife stabbed fiercely from within the tiger skin!

"Old Xiao!" Qiu Zhizhong watched from behind and saw that something was wrong. He was about to warn him, but the dagger had already stabbed towards Xiao Jingchuan with a cold light.

Xiao Lang was immediately shocked!

He had no time to dodge, but luckily he had a pig's leg in his hand, so he used it to block the blade, barely holding it back. He then twisted his body, half-straddled the chair, and subdued the assassin under him!
"what?!"

"Why is it a girl?!"

Xiao Jingchuan had just been in danger, and he used a series of moves that were completely a stress reaction.

But what he didn't expect was that the person who attacked him was actually a girl, and a girl who was only wearing a bellyband!

At this moment, Xiao Lang was half-straddling her, and the scene was extremely awkward!

The girl's hands and feet were restrained, and her nakedness was immediately exposed!
Xiao Lang was startled, and quickly bounced back from the pressing figure.

The girl was so hurt that she had no strength to fight back. She was trembling with fear and curled up into a ball, with her hands crossed over her chest.
