Chapter 42 The battle begins [Chapter 1]
Because it was too crowded, the mob could no longer throw away his hands and feet and throw bricks.
However, the charge did not stop because the people behind him squeezed the mobs who were stabbed under their feet, or stepped on them.
At this time, the mobs were crowded together, and there was no room for throwing bricks. The East Street was safer than it started.
A savage and primitive killing began.
At the beginning, the battlefield was mainly concentrated at the end of the East Street. On the street less than twenty meters wide, thousands of people were crowded with each other. The mobs rushed up madly. Under the huge thrust behind, some mobs actually climbed up the city wall with their heads and shoulders. As long as they climbed up, the shoulder pole and hoe on the city wall immediately rushed up...
Blood splattered.
The murderous aura is boiling.
This is the most brutal battle, without sharp weapons, without well-trained soldiers, and some are honest farmers, whose weapons are hoes, shoulder poles, sickles, wooden sticks, and teeth.
Some people kept climbing up, and some people kept falling. The fallen people were immediately stepped on by the crowd like tide. The mobs were extremely brave and fearless. Some people actually grabbed the weapons stabbed from the city wall out of thin air and pulled down the people on the city wall. Among them, some mobs with great strength actually began to pull the sacks of the city wall with their bare hands.
In the distance, some people began to dismantle private houses and use the wood on the private houses to make siege tools...
The small East Street end became a hell of the devil, with the sound of killing, screams, and shouts. At this time, people had forgotten their fear, and just fought, resisted, and attacked with the weapons in their hands.
There are more and more corpses outside the city wall. Under the corpse, the city wall is getting shorter and shorter, and the situation is urgent.
Immediately, someone started to transport food constantly.
The power of the crowd was revealed again. In just over ten minutes, the city wall at the end of the street increased by more than two meters, reaching five meters overall. Moreover, the back extends into a slope, even if it is demolished outside the wall, it will not collapse.
The injured people were replaced.
As time passed, the mobs' attacks began to show signs of fatigue.
After all, the mobs were not well-trained soldiers. At first, they relied on the large number of people and had their morale high and their morale was rising and they attacked wildly. In fact, they were cold and hungry one by one. They had been overdrawn when they traveled for a long distance, and the small city wall was not only not destroyed, but after the mobs became higher and higher, the mobs' willpower began to shake, especially the mobs who were injured at their feet in front, which had unbearable pain and began to retreat.
The one behind rushed forward and the one in front retreated. Soon, the mob, who were originally united, was crowded together, and was in chaos, without the sharpness of the beginning.
"The Ma family has more food, everyone goes to the Ma family!"
"Yes, yes, the Ma family is in the west of Qiaoxi, we can go around..."
“…”
Just when the battle was at a stalemate, suddenly, someone shouted and responded to the crowd. The mobs who had already been unable to capture for a long time immediately retreated like a tide and rushed into the alleys.
It came quickly and went quickly. In just a dozen minutes, thousands of mobs disappeared without a trace, leaving behind rubble and corpses everywhere and wailing wounded.
Zhao Yuan and the city climbed the city wall, and in front of them were devastated. In addition to the rubble, corpses and wounded everywhere, there were also messy weapons.
In just one hour of battle, the end of Dongjie Street had become ruins. On the other side, countless houses were demolished and broken walls were broken, and some houses even had thick black smoke rising.
The Wan family also paid a heavy price.
Twenty-seven people died, fifty-six people were seriously injured, and several minor injuries were caused. The main reason for the death and serious injuries of Wanjia was the first wave of brick attacks, because Wanjia did not warn that the mobs would use flying bricks as attack weapons. Some workers were caught off guard and were directly killed by flying bricks.
"Thank you, Zhao Yuan." Looking at the messy end of the East Street, Chen, who was still in shock, breathed a sigh of relief and finally survived the crisis.
Zhao Yuan waved to the people around him and signaled them to go down.
"Madam, there is a very important thing that needs to be decided by you now." After the workers left the city wall, Zhao Yuan said with a serious face.
"explain."
"May I ask, do the Ma family and Wan family have a deep hatred?" Zhao Yuan's eyes were extremely deep.
"The Ma family... this is not the case. It is usually a commercial competition. Although the Ma family is a bit despicable and shameless, it does not exceed the duty of a businessman." Chen hesitated for a moment and said.
"Well, the Ma family cannot escape the disaster now. I wonder what the wife has plans?"
"Why do you say this? Please say it straight!" Chen frowned and looked at Zhao Yuan.
"Madam, the Ma family and Wan family have formed a competitive trend in Xujiaqiao, and no one can dominate. In fact, this is a good thing, because with the Ma family, Wan family will not be lazy."
"What do you mean is the Ma family that is spurring the Wan family forward?"
"Yes, of course, this is not the most important thing. As the saying goes, wood is in the forest, and the wind will destroy it! Only with the Ma family is in Xujiaqiao can you do business with peace of mind, and the Ma family and the Wan family are actually a relationship of losing their lips and cold teeth."
"The lips are gone and the teeth are cold...the lips are gone and the teeth are cold..." Chen murmured in a low voice, "What do you mean?"
"I think that the wife can rescue the Ma family now. Of course, the rescue time needs to be grasped. It not only plays a role in cracking down on the Ma family, but also cannot make the Ma family fall into a slump. Moreover, after the Wan family takes the rescue, it can ease relations with the Ma family and establish a spiritual leader in Xujiaqiao. My wife think about it, if the prestige of the Wan family will rise sharply after this disaster, the people of Xujiaqiao will definitely follow the leader of the Wan family. If there is anything in the future, as long as the Wan family raises their arms and shouts, there will definitely be followers."
"Why are you suddenly so kind?" Chen asked suddenly.
"..." Zhao Yuan was stunned and didn't know how to answer this question.
In fact, Zhao Yuan didn't think so much. He just wanted to spend this cruel winter quietly. The demise of the Ma family, the first family of Xujiaqiao, obviously did not benefit Xujiaqiao's stability.
In theory, protecting the Ma family is protecting oneself.
Of course, Zhao Yuan did not realize that he did not want the tragedy of their Zhao family to be repeated in the Ma family.
"Okay, according to your wishes, after so many years, I have been fighting with the Ma family. When I think about it, I have no deep hatred. Ziyu once said that you should stand up and be worthy of your conscience. Well, let the Ma family be once."
"Madam, the master is really far-sighted. He is a cultivator. Naturally, he knows the role of the Ma family on the Wan family. Otherwise, with the master's power, the Ma family can be wiped out overnight."
"Haha, I didn't expect that you had only been to Wanjia for three months and had such a thorough understanding of the master's nature. I had been sleeping with the master for decades, but I didn't know what the master was thinking. I was ashamed... Okay, how do you say, how can I rescue the Ma family?"
"Now the mob has lost its spirit, and they have now been scattered into small groups. We just need to open the walls at both ends of the East Street, divide the troops into two groups, and enter the alley at the end of the East to chase and kill the lonely mobs, rescue the residents who have not evacuated, and protect their property; in addition, we head to the West Street and head directly to the Ma family. The mobs who were abused in the Ma family must be busy robbing property and food. We didn't expect that thousands of people would suddenly come. As long as we kill them all the way, they would definitely escape..."
"Then what?"
"Take the victory and chase the mobs all the way, breaking up the mobs' team. You must let those mobs know how scared they are and let them know how powerful Xu Jiaqiao is. Only by letting the news spread can Xu Jiaqiao live a quiet winter!"
"Okay, good idea, our Xujiaqiao and our Wanjia are definitely not places where they come and go when they want to come!" Chen's face looked at was a rare domineering look.
"Madam, then let's start to act, it should be almost done now."
"Yeah, you make the decision."
"Yes, madam."
