Chapter 546 Embarrassment 3
Chapter 546: Dilemma 3
In this case, the soldiers had no scruples at all. The counterattacks of the enemies inside had already aroused the fierceness of these soldiers, and there were actually someone to fight back. This shows that these people were definitely not ordinary people, and if they dared to resist the East Factory, they would be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty.
Thinking of this, the soldiers would not hesitate, and the rumbling of artillery suddenly echoed throughout the earth.
This farm is just an ordinary building, not a city defense. Under such fierce artillery fire, it was suddenly blown up. Moreover, the buildings inside are not as built as stones in the city walls. This is just an ordinary farm. The building materials inside are naturally mostly wood. Under the bombing of the Ming artillery, the wall did not collapse tightly, and a raging fire burned. And today the wind was blowing. The fire took advantage of the wind and immediately the fire became bigger and bigger, spreading quickly, igniting the sky-sky fire, and at the same time, there was a rolling smoke.
The rumbling sound of cannons immediately attracted many local people. However, after coming out, they saw that the Dongchang men were holding guns, and they were all scared and quickly retreated, although they were not sure what was going on.
Although the gun was still loading in front, with the cooperation of several people, the fire rate of the cannon was very fast. Although the fire was already spreading wildly inside, the cannon had no intention of stopping at all and was still bombarding inside.
As for the soldiers, they were not in a hurry to rush inside at this time, just holding guns and surrounding the village. Once someone rushed out of the inside, they would shoot.
As for Eunuch Qian, his face turned blue and white, and he looked at the burning fire with some ugly look.
Jiang Lang stood aside and took his expression into his eyes. It was obvious that the money father-in-law had some connection with these people, and he had confirmed this in a certain way, and now he probably wanted to give up his soldiers and protect the generals.
But how could Jiang Lang make him happy?
He turned his head and shouted at Qian Zhengbang: "Tell me the order that anyone who surrenders will not kill! Anyone who does not surrender will kill!"
"Yes, sir!"
Qian Zhengbang immediately said that he conveyed Jiang Lang's order. Now the fire was spreading backwards, so he immediately mobilized some of the people in front to go to the back. Although the villain who assassinated Jiang Lang was there, there were also some maids and servants. They might not know anything. If they survived the bombardment of artillery, they would definitely escape from the back. As for the secret passage, it was probably used by the assassins to escape, so they would never let these ordinary maids and servants know.
"Mr. Wang, those people are all evil people. I think it's better to kill them all!"
Eunuch Qian suddenly said.
Jiang Lang turned his head and saw that Mr. Qian had a hint of anxiety on his face. He was obviously afraid that he would ask something. The more he did this, the more he wanted to ask. So he smiled and said, "Mr. Qian, although these people are mixed with evil people, I believe that there are innocent people here. We cannot let go of this evil person, but we cannot kill this innocent person at will. If this is spread, it will damage the majesty of the East Factory!"
But it is obvious that the fire that burned at the same time under such bombardment will naturally cause considerable casualties to the so-called innocent people.
"That's...that's...that's...!"
Eunuch Qian said quickly, then he didn't say much, turned around and continued to look at the raging fire in front of him.
"Bang...bang..."
There were crisp gunfire sounds from behind, and they seemed a little dense, which seemed particularly clear with the rumbling sound of cannons. Moreover, the gunfire sounds also seemed very dense, and the intensity of the battle could be seen.
Listening to the gunshots coming from behind, Jiang Lang's face had a slight expression spreading. He had seen a lot of experience in this situation, and of course there was nothing to make a fuss. However, Eunuch Qian seemed a little nervous.
Jiang Lang smiled slightly and said, "Eunuch Qian, what's wrong with you? I think you're sweating profusely?"
Eunuch Qian turned around, smiled reluctantly, and then said, "The weather is a bit too hot!"
“Is it too hot?”
Jiang Lang smiled slightly and was about to speak when he heard the soldier: "Sir, there is a large group of people coming here!"
"Staff?"
Jiang Lang moaned slightly and said, "Who is it?"
The guard immediately said, "It seems to be a city defense army!"
"City defense?"
Jiang Lang murmured slightly and said, "Then you send me the order and let them help us surround this village!"
The soldiers agreed immediately and hurried to pass the order. After a while, several fast horses ran over, jumped off the horse, and walked over quickly. Then one of them immediately said, "Sir, the Lord!"
Jiang Lang turned his head and looked at it, saying, "You are here just in time. There are now suspected that there are a large number of evil people in this village. They are plotting here and planning to make bad plans. I want you to surround the woods immediately."
“Environing the woods?”
The people came to see each other, Jiang Lang and others were attacking these farms and surrounding the woods, why did they do? However, the face of Mr. Qian changed drastically here.
Jiang Lang smiled faintly and said, "After inquiring, it has been confirmed that there is a secret passage in this farm that leads directly to that tree. I have sent people there, but there is not enough manpower, and you are here at the right time to take your people over and assist my people to arrest those evil people. Try to catch those who can catch them as much as possible. If the evil people are too powerful, kill them on the spot!"
Jiang Lang gave the order, and these people did not dare to disobey them anymore. They hurriedly led the people over and surrounded the whole forest.
After a while, the gunshots behind him became sparse. It seemed that the enemy had either given up on resistance or had turned into the secret passage.
The artillery had stopped attacking, but the light fire in the village continued to burn.
Then, a soldier hurriedly ran over and said, "Sir, you have already captured a lot of people. Please give me a speech!"
Jiang Lang nodded and said to Qian Zhengbang: "You will continue to stay here. Eunuch Qian, are you going to have a look with me?"
Mr. Qian had no choice but to nod and followed him.
When he came to Zhuangzi, he saw that there were already many people squatting on the ground. These people were basically dressed as servants and maids. They seemed to be among servants in Zhuangzi. So Jiang Lang asked, "Who are these people in Zhuangzi?"
"Master Qibing, most of these are servants inside, and those who resisted have all been shot dead!"
A soldier reported.
Jiang Lang turned his head and saw many corpses lying on the ground, some of which were dressed as servants, but there were also some people who didn't look like servants. They seemed to be the accomplices of the assassins and planned to escape in the chaos. However, they did not expect that the soldiers from the East Factory who came to the East Factory today did not use knives, but muskets.
Jiang Lang turned around, waved his hand, and shouted, "Let them take them back and interrogate them carefully. If you are sure that you have nothing to do with those people, you will let them go. If they are not honest, they will be punished!"
The soldiers immediately agreed and commanded the people to take them to the capital.
Jiang Lang came to his senses and smiled and said, "Eunuch Qian, this battle is pretty under your command!"
Eunuch Qian smiled and said, "That's all the credit of the adults!"
"hehe!"
Jiang Lang seemed very happy. He looked at the Zhuangzi in front of him and then said, "Eunuch Qian, do you think there is a secret path in this Zhuangzi, have these evil men entered the secret path now? And there is no movement in the forest now, then do you think these people will hide in the secret path and plan to run away after we retreat?"
Eunuch Qian pretended to be thinking and said, "I think it's very likely that Lord Wang might as well block both sides of the secret path, and then none of these evil people can escape!"
"Kill someone to silence?"
Jiang Lang smiled slightly in his heart. How could he make Mr. Qian’s idea come true? So he smiled and said, “Kill them? That’s not possible. These people must have a purpose when they come to the capital. We should now find out the purpose of their coming. If they have other helpers, of course they have to catch them all in one place to prevent future troubles! So I don’t want to kill them all for the time being, I want to catch them alive!”
Mr. Qian's face looked a little ugly and said, "Sir, what are you going to do?"
"I'm very patient!"
Jiang Lang smiled slightly and said, "If they don't come out, then I'll wait for them to come out. I can't. How long can these people stay underground!"
