Chapter 41: Grandma Liu Enters the Grand View Garden
Gong Xiaoda and his team's mission is to gain a foothold at the top of the city and protect the ladder so that the brothers behind can come up safely.
Two servants holding waist knives rushed up and hit the round shield of the Jinyiwei. Gong Xiaoda and three brothers stood shoulder to shoulder, hitting the enemy with their shields. The two enemies who rushed in the front were unable to defend themselves by the impact of the shields. Then the four Jinyiweisers took their swords and fell, and the heads of the two servants who were knocked back repeatedly fell to the ground.
The four servants behind held long spears and stabbed at the Jinyiwei. The four servants holding shields and hit the spear hard. Then they rolled on the spot and quickly approached the enemy. They waved the embroidered swords from the enemy's lower plate. Only a row of screams could be heard. The four servants holding long spears threw away the spears and hugged the cut-off calf and let out a heart-wrenching scream.
The two Jinyiwei archers behind Gong Xiaoda and the others pulled the arrows and shot out four feather arrows in succession, and shot the four people over. They suddenly found three guys holding bird guns behind the enemy, and the fuse hanging around their necks was still lit up. So the two archers immediately replaced the light arrows and shot arrows at the three guys holding bird guns quickly.
The three Li family bird gunners were shot overturned on the top of the city without having enough time to enter the range of the bird gun.
The Jinyiwei behind the back continued to climb up the ladder, and more Jinyiwei archers climbed up to the city, and the new recruits holding long weapons also climbed up to the city. After the archers climbed the city, they immediately shot arrows at the Li family bird gunners who were coming to reinforce. A round of arrow rain covered the Li family bird gunners. The Li family bird gunners suffered heavy casualties, but they didn't even touch the opponent's side.
Zhao Peng had already personally brought his men to the top of the city. With his order, the new recruits of the Jinyiwei were clearing the way forward, killing Li family members backwards one after another.
The main forces of the Li family were concentrated in the explosion of the gap to block the attack of the Shun Army, and they could not send more people to deal with the Jinyiwei coming from the west. Moreover, most of the Li family members had no use of their long-range troops once they entered close combat.
Seeing the Jinyiwei rushing up, the Li family's bird gunners fired their guns from afar. The Jinyiwei rushing over was unscathed, while the random arrows shot by the Jinyiwei shot overturned several bird gunners.
These veterans of the Jinyiwei were originally masters fighting alone, but their long-term military preparations were lax, which made them become waste. Now, after several days of training, most of their combat effectiveness has been restored and they are stimulated by the wealth of the Li family, which is as rich as a country. Not only are the combat effectiveness fully up to level, but there are also continuous critical strikes.
"I can't stop it, run!"
"The eagle dog is so amazing! Run away quickly!" The servants shouted in horror, turned their heads and ran away.
In a blink of an eye, the Jinyiwei had already reached the turbulent crowd of Li Jiajia. After standing like a melon and cutting vegetables, the Li Jiajiajiajia immediately scattered into birds and beasts and quickly collapsed.
"It seems that robbery is also a good way to stimulate the combat effectiveness of soldiers, but we cannot use this method as a long-term solution." Zhao Peng said to himself as he looked at the mighty Jinyiwei, who was as powerful as a tiger. Encouraging soldiers to rob is indeed a way to improve combat effectiveness. For example, the Eight Banners Army in the early stage, the Green Camp formed by the Qing army after entering the pass, and the Hunan Army who later engaged in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, all used robbery to improve their combat effectiveness. However, this method was not a long-term solution. The army that relied on robbery to improve combat effectiveness was also very fast. The Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty was decayed not long after entering the pass. When the Three Feudal Rebellion was in chaos, the Eight Banners Army was no longer a match for Wu Sangui. If it weren't for the support of the Green Camp, and Wu Sangui died of illness, Kang Mazi might have gotten out of the pass in shame.
Since the main force of the Li family and the tenants were both restrained by the Shun Army, the Jinyiwei who was hitting the sideways and climbing up the city will take advantage of this opportunity to make a good deal, and get more money as much as you can.
The hard shell of the Li family has been smashed open, and what is left is not the fat meat that can be slaughtered?
"This old guy from Li Jiaguo really knows how to enjoy it!" Sitting on the stone bench by the lotus pond, Zhao Peng comfortably raised his legs and admired the spring garden. The colorful flowers were in full bloom, and groups of colorful butterflies were dancing among the flowers. Looking at this beautiful scenery, Zhao Peng felt like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden.
However, the lady running in front made a terrifying cry, and the Jinyiwei who was chasing the girl behind destroyed the picturesque garden scenery, just like a hero from Liangshan who poured into the Grand View Garden.
"Stop!" Zhao Peng suddenly called out to the Jinyiwei who were chasing the girls excitedly, "Go in and search the house and take all the gold, don't take other things! Everyone should take as much gold as possible! Don't worry about these women, leave them to the Shunjun brothers!"
Looking at these beautiful young ladies and personal maids, Zhao Pengqiang swallowed a saliva. Although these women were beautiful, they did not belong to them. His brothers wanted to escort the prince and princess south. How could they bring these burdens? If you want the brothers to find their wives, you will find them after they get off Jiangnan. Giving these women to Shunjun, on the one hand, it is to reduce a burden, and on the other hand, it is to sell personal favors to Shunjun.
After receiving the order, the Jinyiwei could only swallow his saliva and give up the beautiful women in front of him. Most of them were recruiting ship workers and refugee miners. When did they see such beautiful women? However, the military orders are like mountains. They often train on weekdays and often beat military sticks and whips. If they disobey the battlefield, they will really lose their heads. Although the beauty is good, they have to have the life to enjoy it! When the head falls, all the golden beauties seem to have nothing to do with them. It is more affordable to follow the orders of the master to grab gold.
Gong Xiaoda rushed into a large house that looked very grand and looked through the cabinet. The box was kicked away by the Jinyiwei, and the gold, silver and jewelry inside rolled to the ground, emitting a dazzling light under the fire. Gong Xiaoda and the Jinyiwei were so shaking that they could not open their eyes by the light of gold, silver and jewelry. Everyone rushed up in a mess, holding the gold, silver and jewelry and putting it into their arms desperately, stuffing it all over. Someone took off the quilt from the bed, pulled the silk quilt rudely, made a package, and swept the gold, silver and jewelry inside.
"Listen to my order, I will only throw gold, jewelry and silver back!" The Jinyiwei suddenly heard Zhao Peng's voice coming from behind, "If you don't follow the order, you will be killed without mercy!"
"What a pity." Gong Xiaoda helplessly threw the jewelry and silver ingots in his arms back into the alley.
Zhao Peng walked up and patted Gong Xiaoda on the shoulder: "Brother, don't forget that we came with Shunjun. We took away some of the most practical gold first, and the rest must be divided with them. We must be loyal."
He plundered with his friendly forces, and he kept gold privately. He also said that he should be loyal and honest, and his face is indeed thick-skinned.
Gong Xiaoda asked dismissively: "General, since we have taken over the valuables first, why do we only take gold, not jewelry or other things? Are those things more valuable than gold?"
Zhao Peng said: "Jewelry and jade are not easy to replace with silver, but gold can be used immediately!"
"No!" Gong Xiaoda gave a saliva, swallowed his saliva, and looked reluctantly at the dazzling array of jewelry, jade and various calligraphy, paintings and antiques. At this time, a sudden bell shocked him.
