Chapter 2213 Attacking the Workshop of Duke Zhao's Mansion
The war was about to break out. As the Changsun family's soldiers fired a wave of arrows, something surprising happened to the shopkeeper Changsun.
The opponent actually has a shield?
Shopkeeper Changsun was stunned when he saw this scene.
When did the rebels have shields? This doesn't make sense.
In the past, rebels were considered well-equipped if they had some leather armor and weapons, and shields were not suitable for cavalry.
What's more, it's an iron shield.
It is obvious that the other team is not simple.
Before Shopkeeper Changsun could react, Zhao Tiejun yelled:
"Fire arrows!"
At once, arrows several times more than those of the Changsun family were shot at the top of the wall, and screams were heard immediately.
"what!"
"what!"
The soldiers of the Changsun family fell one after another, and the smarter ones immediately squatted down and hid.
Shopkeeper Changsun also ran away in panic, almost falling off the wall.
The wall of their workshop is not high, it is just an ordinary wall. It can be used to resist some ordinary people, but it is mainly used to resist wild beasts and bandits.
Facing the rebels, it is useless.
Under the suppression of arrows, Zhao Tiejun ordered an attack.
The rebels behind him immediately rode their horses and came to the wall shouting. Some of them climbed up the wall while sitting on their horses, while others tried to hit the gate.
The wooden door was shaking under the pounding of a group of people.
"Manager Changsun, let's run quickly. This place is not far from the Ji Wang Mansion's villa. We will be safe once we run there.
There are 10,000 soldiers there, so even the rebels wouldn't dare to harass them."
At this time, Shopkeeper Zhao, who had treated the wound, came to Shopkeeper Changsun and continued to persuade him.
The secret mission he received was to leave with the shopkeeper of the Changsun family, or any other member of the Changsun family.
Just can't leave on my own.
That's why he spared no effort to persuade Manager Zhangsun to escape.
"I can't abandon the Changsun family's foundation, Manager Zhao, I know you have good intentions, you should run away first."
Manager Changsun shook his head and immediately shouted to his troops.
"Defend the city gates immediately. This is the property of the Changsun family. We cannot let the bandits succeed.
As long as you can repel the rebels, Duke Zhao will reward you handsomely. Even if you die in battle, Duke Zhao's mansion will take good care of your wives and children.
Someone go and call all the craftsmen over immediately and tell them that if they don’t resist, the rebels won’t let them go.”
With several thousand craftsmen and five hundred troops, Manager Zhangsun believes there is still a chance of winning.
Aren’t the rebels made up of those same people?
When the soldiers heard the call, they immediately gathered at the door, weapons in their hands, ready to fight at any time.
Not long after, a lot of people came from behind, holding various tools as weapons.
It's not about living and dying with the workshop. They don't have such noble qualities. They just want to survive.
They had long heard about what the rebels had done, including burning, killing, looting and all sorts of evil.
With a loud "boom", the wooden door collapsed and the rebels sent by Zhao Tiejun poured in.
"kill!!"
"kill!!"
There was not much conversation between the two sides. Zhao Tiejun had heard what King Ji said: villains die because they talk too much.
There is limited space at the gate, and having a large number of people does not confer an advantage. Only when the people in front fall down can the people behind take their place.
"Fire arrows!"
Zhao Tiejun is experienced and has studied at Yucai College. Although he has no experience in commanding large troops,
But theoretically it is still very rich.
Use all your advantages to deal a heavy blow to the enemy.
In addition to the 150 members of the Blade Team, the other 1,000-plus members of his team were all recruited rebels.
The fact that they were able to escape from the imperial court's encirclement and suppression has proven their physical fitness and intelligence.
After more than a month of rigorous training, they have developed some combat effectiveness and their cooperation with each other is very tacit.
The sword and shield soldiers in the front resisted, the spearmen in the back launched a sneak attack, and the last row of archers climbed up the wall and fired freely.
The battle became one-sided and the Changsun family's tribe was no match at all.
Zhao Tiejun's side became more and more courageous as the battle went on, and their momentum was high. In contrast, the Changsun family's side became less and less motivated as their troops fell one by one.
"Impossible, how could the rebels have such fighting power, they are definitely not ordinary rebels.
They advance and retreat in moderation, cooperate with each other, and obey orders. This is clearly a regular army."
Shopkeeper Changsun saw this scene from behind and screamed with his eyes wide open.
Although he was just a shopkeeper, he was well-informed and the other party did not look like a rebel at all.
"Regular army? Impossible? Shopkeeper Changsun, look at their weapons, they are rough in texture. Look carefully at their faces.
They are indeed Gaochang and Tuyuhun people. How can they be regular troops? "
Shopkeeper Zhao was shocked by the scene in front of him. He finally understood what his brother-in-law was doing.
And behind this matter, it is obvious that it must have been planned by the little prince of our family.
After figuring this out, he tried his best to keep these people away from the regular army to avoid being discovered.
"But Shopkeeper Zhao, you have also seen that there are no rebels like them. We have seen rebels before, and they are just a mob."
Shopkeeper Changsun pointed forward.
"Brother Changsun, this is not surprising. They may be soldiers dismissed by the remnants of Gaochang.
I have heard that there are many well-equipped troops among the rebels, and the court is investigating the source of their weapons."
Shopkeeper Zhao analyzed.
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhangsun fell into deep thought.
The battle in the front is still going on. Most of the 500 troops have suffered casualties. As long as all the troops are killed, the remaining thousands of craftsmen will have to take over.
At this time, each of these craftsmen looked pale and trembled with fear at the battle scene before them.
It was the first time they had seen such a brutal battle.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!" Zhao Tiejun saw that it was almost time and shouted immediately.
The rebels in front immediately shouted together,
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
The sound is deafening and the momentum is like a rainbow.
Many craftsmen were so frightened that they dropped their weapons on the ground.
Soon, there were only a few troops left of the Changsun family, and at Zhao Tiejun's order, the attack was temporarily stopped.
Zhao Tiejun rode his horse and walked out from the separated crowd.
The order given to him by Prince Ji was not to kill civilians, as these people might become craftsmen of Prince Ji's palace in the future.
Without people, what’s the point of producing yarn?
"Put down your weapons, and we can spare your lives! We are all enslaved by these Tang people, so there is no need to work for them."
Looking at the dark crowd in front of him, Zhao Tiejun spoke loudly, which was very consistent with the identity of a rebel.
"Don't believe him. They killed all the people in Princess Linchuan's house."
Shopkeeper Changsun immediately shouted loudly from behind.
(I have to go to work for the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles today. If I don’t update before noon tomorrow, it means I am tired from work and will not update.)
