Kai Fu Han

Chapter 125 Attack on Liaodong 2
After being questioned, a dozen people standing in the front rows of the port guard formation unconsciously looked at the armor-piercing man in the middle of the team at the same time.

After Cui Wu found out, he followed everyone's gaze and looked into the man's eyes, waiting for his answer.

This person saw that he couldn't hide it, or he didn't want to hide it at all.He took a few steps forward and replied loudly: "This is a big metal land. We have robbed two of your Zhao emperors. You still dare to come here and run wild. Aren't you afraid that our navy of Jin will wipe out all of you?"

The content of what he said was very strong, and it was also true that the Emperor of Zhao was taken away.

However, the speaker's tone was anxious and lacking in energy, and coupled with the huge disparity between the enemy's and our own forces at the scene, the words were not very intimidating.

When there is such a disparity in strength between the enemy and our own, this man still dares to stand up and show off. It is really commendable for his courage.

Cui Wu ignored the man's question and asked again: "Then you choose to resist?"

The armor-piercing man was obviously a bit coerced, but Cui Wu didn't expect that he didn't play the cards according to the routine, and he didn't dare to admit it directly, and his momentum was blown out.After a pause, he replied, "What do you want to do?"

"There's so much nonsense, get ready for a fight." After saying that, Cui Wu began to return.

"Wait, can we survive if we surrender?" The man stopped Cui Wu and finally asked.

Cui Wu turned around and looked at him: "I can't guarantee it, but you have no choice."

According to Liu Xinqi's arrangements before departure, the Jin prisoners would be put on public trial after being transported back to Dengzhou. Anyone with Han blood on their hands would be beheaded in public.

These words stimulated the man's heart, and he suddenly pulled out his long knife and shouted:
"Then I choose to die standing."

After saying this, more than 100 people behind him also raised their weapons, and more than a dozen diehards stepped forward and stood on the left and right sides of him.

"What a warrior!" Liu Xinqi praised.

"The Kingdom of Jin has its merits in being able to destroy Liao and the remnants of Zhao. At least the low-level soldiers are braver than the officers and soldiers of Zhao." Ye Chuan said standing next to Liu Xinqi.

"Then let him do it." Liu Xinqi said, "Let's start the attack."

Following Liu Xinqi's order, Ye Chuan began to direct the battle. Two infantry phalanxes faced the port guards and began to march forward in formation, with two Marine Corps supporting them on the left and right wings.

"A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength." Seeing Ye Chuan's command, Liu Xinqi recognized it very much.

The infantry phalanx marched to the port guard formation and stood eighty steps in front of it. Then the front row raised their shields and began to advance forward step by step. The Marines on both wings were slightly ahead of the infantry phalanx. , the whole formed a semicircle, surrounding the port guards inside.

The port guard troops were combined from three sides, and their formation was already in chaos. More than 100 people were crowded together, and the entire formation couldn't help but shrink back.

After the infantry phalanx advanced another 40 steps, the "circle" formation of the harbor guards had retreated more than [-] steps, and the leader of the armor and a dozen of his loyal guards suddenly appeared in the two formations. in the middle.

"Raise the arrow!!" the infantry captain shouted.

The soldiers in the two rows behind the first front shield raised their crossbows at the command.

This crossbow was improved by Liu Zhimu. It is slightly larger overall, has a steel wire string, and is equipped with an arrow box that can hold ten arrows. Every time an arrow is shot, the string and arrows can be loaded by pulling the winding rod once, and the arrow can be fired again.

"Get ready!!" the infantry captain shouted again.However..., the shooting order was not shouted out in the end.

The leader of the port guard on the opposite side finally surrendered after being targeted by forty crossbows. He dropped the long knife in his hand and sat on the ground with a depressed expression, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

"Hey, ants still live in vain, let alone humans." When Liu Xinqi saw this scene, he sighed because this man's courage did not persist to the end, and he understood his behavior. After all, it is better to die than to live.

Knowing that something is impossible and doing it requires great courage and perseverance.After all, Confucius who said this was a saint, and there are still many ordinary people in this world.

As the leader surrendered, the guards in the "circle formation" behind them quickly dropped their weapons. Several die-hard guards probably couldn't accept that the usually brave boss surrendered without a fight. It took a few breaths before they dropped their weapons. , the look of frustration was even more obvious than that of the leader.

"Tie them all up first, and then go into the town to sweep them. Don't be careless during the sweep, and always be on guard against hidden arrows to avoid death or injury." Ye Chuan ordered.

A Marine Corps team began to move forward and capture the port guards. The other 300 people were divided into six teams and entered the town on the Baoyutai port.

The battle was over before it even started. Ye Chuan returned to the flagship and commanded the transport ship following the fleet to move forward and prepare to capture it.

Liu Xinqi followed the soldiers into the town.

When I walked to a courtyard near the port, the gate of the courtyard was closed. A soldier knocked on the door and shouted to open it, but no one inside responded.

Then a squad leader stepped forward and shouted in warning: "Get out of the way of the people inside, we are about to break down the door."

He waited for a while, and then kicked hard on the gate. The warrior's great force caused one of the gates to be kicked directly into the courtyard, and the other was also tilted by the bolt and was crumbling.

Liu Xinqi stood behind him and looked in through the open door. He saw an adult man standing in the middle of the yard. The door he kicked flew past his side, making him tremble as he stood there.

I could vaguely hear muffled crying coming from the room inside.

Unable to bear to continue watching, Liu Xinqi turned to the Military Police who were following the detachment and ordered: "You can rob, but you must not kill or insult women. We are humans, not animals, and you must supervise us."

"Yes, leader." The two military policemen replied.

The scene just now reminded Liu Xinqi of the previous massacre of Liujia Fort by the Jurchens. After returning to Liujia Fort from the mountains, most of the people who stayed in the fort had been killed, and there were all kinds of corpses. It was horrible. If Zhou Xinyuan had not had the foresight to hide the women and children in the cellar, the scene would have been even more tragic.

At that time, Liu Xinqi really hated the Jurchens and the Kingdom of Jin to the core, and vowed to slaughter the Jurchens completely if he had the chance in the future.

However, as more and more things have been experienced, Liu Xinqi knows that the ultimate cause of these tragedies is the upper class, the Jurchen nobles. They waged wars for their own desires and for their own selfishness. Wife and children separated.

Although the people of Zhao State also have the crime of helping the tyrant, most of the people at the bottom are also hard-working people, and they can't help themselves.

Liu Xinqi, who came from a later generation, became more accustomed to this troubled world from this moment on, and also hated this troubled world even more.

"If you don't destroy it, you won't establish it." Liu Xinqi said to himself: "Let me use 'killing' to start a new prosperous age."
