Chapter 234 The Siege ([-])
After a little negotiation, Ning Yi moved two barrels of explosives on the carriage after leaving Qian's house.Even in the army these days, firearms such as explosives and bamboo guns are not the mainstream, and it is impossible for the Qian family to always keep them. These two barrels are because when Ning Yi sent someone to ask for gunpowder last time, the Qian family steward was at the Ordnance Supervision Take more, Ning Yi asked, and took it away. He still had some leftover ingredients for mixing gunpowder, so he just took it back to mix.
At this time, although many Fang La's men were mixed into Hangzhou City, it was basically controlled by Wu Deying's subordinates. If it is really dangerous and urgent, it may not be counted.It can be heard from Qian Xiwen's words that everyone still has some confidence in this situation.But it is impossible to put eggs in one basket. What Ning Yi needs to do is not to plan for the defense of the city, but to make complete preparations and plan ahead. Therefore, Qian Xiwen is also happy to see the results.
If the official government department made everyone prepare for the event of the city breaking down, the residents in the city would inevitably be more panic-stricken. The first thought of the wealthy households who were notified was not to fight the enemy with one heart, but how to save themselves.But if Ning Yi is asked to lead the line as a big family first, it will appear that everyone is worried about their own affairs. Even if there are dissidents who only care about themselves, there must be a lot of fugitives, but the degree of effort is stronger than that of the army. .
After discussing the beginning of this matter with Qian Xiwen, Ning Yi relaxed a little, and started to drive back.At this time, the fire spreading to the north of the city should have been brought under control. In the apparently clear morning sky, a black column of smoke flew away with the wind.As Xiaochan said before, it just started to rain, and if someone hadn't deliberately lit fires everywhere, the timbers of the houses that had been soaked by the heavy rain for four days would not have spread to the momentum they had in the morning.
The horse-drawn carriage galloped along the way, and although most of the people stayed in the neighborhood where they lived, there were still some people on the streets available for passage at this time.Some of them ran out to look for information, or dragged their families to join relatives, and some of them probably wanted to go to the south port to squeeze the sea boats to escape, so they carried large and small packages on their backs, with a miserable look on their faces.After a while, another sound came from the Qiantang Gate in the west of the city.
After such a distance, the sound of the battle over there could not be heard clearly, but it was like a tide rising in the middle of the night or a muffled thunder in the distant sky. The shock and the oppressive feeling of fighting came over.Ning Yi drove forward, and the fighting at the distant city gate continued, intensified, and never stopped.
Then, some really hazy and chaotic atmosphere appeared on the way to Taiping Lane.
Some of the fights that happened in the city seemed far away, and a small number of wounded soldiers.Far away, Ning Yi also saw a team rushing across the street.It seems that after the troublemakers in the north of the city were dispersed in the morning, some of them have been chased by the army.This chilling atmosphere has enveloped the surrounding area, and as we go further, there are fewer and fewer people on the main road. It was a few rioters who broke into one of the yards and killed several women and children.The courtyard walls and buildings on the side of the street near the waterway have collapsed, and Ning Yi can see the general idea.
Although such streets and alleys also organized young and strong guards by themselves like Taiping Lane, but when they rushed over, the young people who had never really seen blood were no opponents at all. Amidst the sounds, screams, and warning gongs, the seven or eight gangsters had already rushed out of the yard on one side, and reached the street where people were running around. A man took a huge wooden club and went there to fight. The momentum suddenly forced the bandit back, but then he was cut off the stick by a few knives, forced to retreat towards the water's edge, and then he was knocked to the ground by a bandit half-stained in blood.
At this time, there were women, children and young adults in the alleyway, but they were completely overwhelmed by the aura of seven or eight bandits.There were screams and cries, but after a young man who was about to pounce was cut down, no one could come to rescue the felled man for a while.The blood-stained gangster approached with a knife. The man on the ground crawled back desperately, and then he was stabbed in the chest, then another knife, and another knife... A woman holding a child leaned against the In the corner of the wall two meters away, I cried desperately.The man on the ground kept trying to crawl away. After a while, blood flowed all over his body. He crawled all the way to the side of the waterway and couldn't move. "Come on, let me do it again!"
At this time, the sound of the army rushing over could be faintly heard. The bandit's body was like an iron tower, with a bright red half body, he looked extremely ferocious.A companion patted him on the shoulder and shouted for him to go. He turned around to leave, but turned around suddenly at the next moment, but saw Ning Yi's carriage parked here because he was watching the battle. He looked around and wanted to grab something and throw it here. Then, he rushed towards the crying woman and child not far away.
The bandit wanted to grab the swaddle in the woman's arms, but the woman hugged her tightly, screaming and shaking her head, the bandit grabbed a few times, tore off a piece of cloth from the swaddle, and the next moment raised the steel knife He slashed down on the ground, he slashed several times crazily, and blood flowed all over the ground.Looking at this scene, there were shouts and cries in the streets, and Ning Yi watched it without blinking.The gangster took a few more steps, broke off half of the green brick from the wall, and threw it over.
This is just a small waterway, no more than ten meters wide, and the man threw it accurately. The sound of breaking wind came straight to Ning Yi's face. Ning Yi tilted his head, and a blue brick the size of a steamed bun slammed on the other side of the carriage. On the door frame, the cotton curtain fell down, and the steel knife in the hand of the gangster pointed to this side, smiled grimly, then turned and left with his companions.
Ning Yi sat there for two seconds, raised his whip and wanted to drive away, but the next moment, he put down the whip with a frown, grabbed the bricks that fell on the car, jumped out of the carriage, and ran two steps, Throw the green brick back forcefully.This time, there was a loud sound of breaking wind, and across the waterway in an instant, the blood light exploded with a bang.The gangster froze for a moment, and it was indeed a companion nearly two meters away who had his head smashed open by a green brick, and he fell forward to the ground, and the blood-stained brick fell further forward.
Missing, Ning Yi stood by the water and took a breath, squeezing his hands together on his face.When the bandits on the opposite side looked over, Ning Yi looked around at the ground beside him. It was full of dirt and turf, and he couldn't see any bricks in his hand. He turned around and got into the carriage, waved his whip and left.There was violent drinking from the rear, and then someone screamed again. Probably that person vented his anger and swung a knife to kill someone. Ning Yi didn't look back and stopped looking.
The streets and alleys in this city are not as defenseless as the streets just now. After all, some nurses in rich families have seen blood, or have martial arts gyms and bodyguards, and their resistance can be greatly increased.But the general young and strong, unless they bully the few by the crowd, the effect they can play is extremely limited.The people Fang La sent into the city this time should basically be elite fighters, just like the kind of murderous red-eyed ones just now, who can't help it. He also had to be knocked down with a knife.
At this time, it seemed that after the chaos in the north of the city in the morning, Fang La's subordinates rushed around and scattered in the city.Although the Wude Camp has controlled the city of Hangzhou, the main force is still placed near the city wall. As for those who arrest the criminals in the city, even if they are scattered, they will not be able to really control the overall situation in a short while. But thinking about it, it shouldn't last this morning.
But this chaos has temporarily enveloped him, and he can't escape or turn around for a while.In order to rush to Taiping Lane, Ning Yi detoured a few times. When he reached an intersection, about [-] officers and soldiers rushed out, chased and killed two bandits, and hacked them to death at the intersection.The leading officer was a bearded man with a fierce appearance, pointing at Ning Yi with a knife: "Who is it!"
Ning Yi took out the token, and then took out a document issued by the Qian family, explaining that he was going back to Taiping Lane.The bearded officer was panting and vicious after chasing and killing the bandits, but after reading the certificate and Ning Yi's scholar's attire, after a little inspection, he shouted: "There are bandits making trouble here, we are going to arrest the criminals , You can’t drive a carriage over there, detour! Detour!” Although there is gunpowder in the car, the certificate Ning Yi is carrying at this time has a very high authority, plus the token of Commander Du, this bearded officer is not much better say what.
These people are doing things and have their own reasons.Ning Yi didn't think he had the privilege of rampaging, so he had to take a detour for a while, so he turned around again, and when he got to a fork, he saw that the road on the side was almost red, and hundreds of corpses were lying on the street. The room stretches out to the distance, and I don't know what kind of battles have been experienced here. There are corpses of officers and soldiers, as well as a small number of bandit corpses, and among them are civilians who were affected.The surrounding streets and alleys were so quiet that it seemed to be dead, the buzzing sound of the city spread, and in the distance was the sound of fighting at Qiantangmen.
Ning Yi turned his horse's head, walked towards the other side of the road, turned two streets, and there was a sound coming from the courtyard of the rich man, buzzing and buzzing.This family should have collapsed a lot of buildings during the earthquake, but there is still a long section of the wall along the street, and there are gaps in some places, but they can't see the situation inside. After listening for a while, the sound inside is getting louder. It was getting louder and louder, as if someone was rushing over here.
Ning Yi just wanted to speed up. At a gap in front of the street, eight or nine gangsters with red bodies rushed up the street, looking towards Ning Yi. Ning Yi wanted to turn the car around and look at the rear , a few people from the rear turned over the wall, and a man holding a steel whip shouted to this side: "The killer! Leave the car! Brothers! Snatched his car, set fire to the gang of dog officers and soldiers to death !"
Amid this man's shout, several people in front of the road had already rushed towards this side, and the first one was holding a hammer, which was extraordinarily fierce.At this time, Ning Yi was dressed as a scholar, and looked forward and backward for a while. He could hardly control the turbulent carriage, and fell off the carriage. He got up in a panic, and ran towards a gap in the wall on the other side. After more than twenty meters, Ning Yi looked back in the small courtyard of the collapsed room. On the road behind, a person rushed into the carriage nimbly, grabbed the reins, and pulled the restless horse with one hand. Stay, heroic and bright red.
Ning Yi took a few steps back, frowned and covered his sleeves over his mouth.
"Fuck you..."
Inside the car curtain, a flame ignited to the end, someone opened the curtain, and the light bloomed.
There was a loud bang, and the flames soared into the sky, swallowing all the distortion of the human face and the barking of the horse. A human body was blown into the sky, the flames rose, and the air flow fluttered, blowing Ning Yi's clothes and broken limbs. Fall before your eyes.A few seconds later, he turned and started to run, almost still in the buzzing ears, someone crazy big man: "Kill him kill him kill him - give me the son of a bitch -"
The uninjured people chased this way.
With a bang, Ning Yi broke through a shaky wooden door. While the pieces of wood were flying, he pulled out a steel knife from the side of his robe, pulled out the cloth strip while running, and fixed the handle of the knife on his hand with his hands and mouth ...
