Chapter 3097 [Continue to shoot]

A few days later, the news of the explosion in the Zhensong army's arsenal was also sent back to Yuanshang.

"Have you heard that, the arsenal of the crow soldiers exploded~"

"I said that when I was sleeping a few days ago, I heard a bang. I dare say that the arsenal exploded."

"Once the arsenal is blown up, should the crow soldiers retreat?"

The villagers chattered and said that they were very excited about the bombing of the Zhensong Army's arsenal.

After the Zhensong army came to Yuanshang, they robbed food and money, but they did not do a single personnel thing.Now that something has happened to it and it has suffered, the common people are naturally happy to watch the play.

But Xiang Nan also knows that centipedes are dead but not stiff.

Although the Zhensong Army's arsenal was bombed, resulting in damage to its firepower, it was not so easy to withdraw.

After all, these are a group of tiger and wolf soldiers, and they came to Sanqin to rob food, money, and women.Now that the city of Xi'an is close at hand, such a large piece of fat will be swallowed up, they are not willing to let go.

So they will continue to besiege the city.

However, after their firepower was damaged, the threat to the defenders in the city was greatly reduced.After all, a long gun without bullets is not as powerful as a fire stick.

When they had enough firepower, they couldn't take Xi'an City. Now that they lack bullets and shells, it is even more difficult to take down Xi'an City.In this way, the city of Xi'an was saved.

Moreover, not only one force is coveting Sanqin, for example, the Yan clan warlord of the Jin army, and the Feng clan warlord known as the defector general, they also want to get their hands on Sanqin.

However, the Zhensong army is a vicious dog, and attacked Sanqin first, so it is not easy for those two families to send troops.But now that the Zhensong army is short of ammunition and the threat is greatly reduced, the two families will naturally be ready to move.

Historically, Feng's warlords launched an attack on the Zhensong Army in September and drove it away.

……

After the explosive depot of the Zhensong Army was bombed, Commander Liu Xiazi reached out to the common people to raise funds and buy ammunition.

He asked every household not only to pay food, but also to pay various taxes, so as to fill the gap in the bombed arsenal.

During the period of the Republic of China, 20 rounds of ammunition cost 3000 yuan.This time, Xiang Nan shot and reimbursed him nearly 120 million rounds of ammunition, which is equivalent to [-] million oceans being wiped out.

If he wants to buy back the 3000 million rounds of ammunition, he has to collect 120 million oceans from the people.

And the combined population of several counties under his control is less than 60, so it is equivalent to paying two oceans per person.

Ordinary people at that time could not earn a few dollars a year.For a family of four, it is necessary to hand over eight yuan, which is simply killing the people.

Therefore, there are people everywhere who refuse to pay taxes and refuse to pay grain.

And Blind Liu, who was born in a reckless background, was not merciful, and directly ordered to kill.All villages and towns set up guillotines to catch and kill those who resisted taxes and those who refused to pay grain.

Because Xiang Nan was in charge of Bailu Village, Platoon Leader Yang didn't dare to mess around, so no one in their village was killed.But there were casualties in several surrounding villages and towns.

Those soldiers rushed into the house to search for valuables, and took them all away, and smashed what they couldn't take away, causing the people to complain and complain.

In contrast, the villagers were naturally grateful for Xiang Nan's protection.If it wasn't for him, the villagers of Bailu Village would not know how they would have been ruined.

……

And seeing Liu Xiazi bullying the common people like this, Xiang Nan didn't want to spare him lightly.

At night, he sneaked into the bank of the Zhensong Army, and spent one night putting 300 million oceans in it, all of which were emptied.

It turned out that Liu Xiazi attacked Sanqin from Yuzhou, and looted the local finances wherever he went.The rich people, merchants, shops, etc. under the rule were also blackmailed and blackmailed, so they robbed so much money.

And this money, he is going to use to pay the army and buy arms.Xiang Nan didn't want to take advantage of him, so he spent the whole night, like ants moving house, stole all 300 million oceans, and found a place to bury them.

In this way, blind Liu has no military pay, nor money to buy arms, so the end can be imagined.

Sure enough, a few days later, because Liu Xiazi's army had no money to pay, the soldiers mutinied.

Those crow soldiers under his command have no beliefs and no loyalty at all. Their purpose in serving as soldiers is for money, power, and women.

Now that the salary is gone, and people die in vain, who else is willing to sacrifice their lives.

Coupled with the bombing of the arsenal, they lost their ammunition support, and they had nothing to do with the city of Xi'an.Continuing to consume it is futile and wasted effort, so some soldiers began to mutiny.

Although Liu Xiazi finally suppressed the mutiny by his own means, it also caused a great loss of his strength.There were originally 10,000+ horses, but now there are less than 10 horses left, and the loss is about one-tenth.

More importantly, due to counter-insurgency, the two sides exchanged fire and killed each other, resulting in a large consumption of the remaining bullets. The remaining bullets were aggregated together, and there were only less than a million bullets left. to ten.

During World War II, it took an average of [-] bullets to kill an enemy soldier.Even the Eighth Route Army, whose combat effectiveness is over the top, needs an average of thirty bullets or seven grenades.

Therefore, although Liu Xiazi's million bullets seem to be a lot, they are actually far from being consumed.

Moreover, taking advantage of Liu Xiazi's civil strife, the defenders in the city took the opportunity to launch an attack, and achieved certain victories, which greatly encouraged people's hearts.

……

"Heiwa, have you heard that Liu Xiazi's bank was also stolen." Lu Zhaopeng came to find Xiang Nandao.

Xiang Nan nodded, "I heard, well done, this is all retribution, let him exploit the common people."

"Yeah, Blind Liu lost his military salary, and the army mutinied, and he was almost kicked out of power by his subordinates." Lu Zhaopeng said, "But he is not a rich man after all, so he suppressed the mutiny in the end, but still lost 1 yuan. Lots of soldiers."

Liu Xiazi's three teachers, Chai Yunsheng, Zhang Zhigong and Han Yukun, were all bandits like him.

They also have their own forces, their own armies, and Liu Xiazi besieged Xi'an City, just like in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the eighteen princes besieged Dong Zhuo, it was an alliance and cooperation relationship, not a relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Now that the arsenal has been bombed, the silver treasury has been stolen, and Xi'an City has been unable to attack for a long time, they have lost troops and generals, and they have suffered heavy losses, so naturally they all have grievances.

Therefore, Han Yukun, the commander of the third division, joined forces with Chai Yunsheng and Zhang Zhigong to force the palace, and prepared to drive Xiazi Liu out of power.But Blind Liu was superior, and used high-ranking officials to instigate the rebellion of Chai Yunsheng and Zhang Zhigong, and shot Han Yukun to death.

Although Han Yukun died, but Han Yukun's brother was unwilling to be included by Liu Xiazi, so there was internal strife.In the end, Han Yukun's troops were defeated and split up by the three families. The Zhensong Army lost more than [-] people, and it also laid the hidden danger of internal strife.
