Xia Jingxi was startled by the sudden appearance of Qiu Fuzhao.
She had never looked at her cousin who was the head of the security team.
She didn't expect that her usually servile cousin would be so bold today.
"Let go" Xia Jingxi swung hard but didn't let go.
Qiu Fuzhao said: "Cousin, I can't help you today.
You have to go if you want to go, and you have to go if you don't want to go."
After that, he stopped to hug her.
Xia Jingxi jumped back and pointed the sharp scissors in her hand at Qiu Fuzhao: "Don't come over."
Qiu Fuzhao smiled evilly and said: "Cousin, I am not afraid of scissors.
If you are really willing to prick it, just prick it here."
As he spoke, he pulled open the front of his black uniform, revealing his strong chest.
Xia Jingxi hesitated.
Qiu Fuzhao took the opportunity and said: "Cousin, don't you know how I feel about you?
The bandits are so numerous that the county cannot be saved.
Come with me quickly.
I promise to treat you sincerely for the rest of my life.
I will hold you in the palm of my hand and hold you in my heart."
Mouth."
Xia Jingxi almost vomited as she looked at this pockmarked face showing her true feelings.
When Commander Qiu confessed his love at the foot of the city, the bandits had already repelled five attacks on the city.
There were many corpses lying in the open space outside the city, and dozens of injured lying on the ground groaning.
Most of them were Wounded by shotgun blasts from bronze cannons, Wang Degui raised his Mauser gun to give them a good blow, but was stopped by Chen Zikun.
"Don't kill them, I'll keep them for use."
"What's the use of keeping a bandit who killed a thousand swordsmen?"
Wang Degui asked puzzledly.
"It will be of great use.
Which one of you will call the bandit leader over?"
No one responded.
There have been many casualties in this battle so far.
More than a dozen people in the city have died and more than 30 people have been injured.
For the residents of the county that have been at peace for a long time, it is tragic enough.
Everyone I hate and fear the bandits, and no one dares to leave the city.
County Magistrate Liu said: "I have a way.
Raise the white flag and the bandit leader will come by himself."
Chen Zikun said yes, but where did the white flag come from?
County Magistrate Liu took out a white silk bag folded into a square shape from his arms.
Chen Zikun stared at him: "You have already prepared the white flag."
County Magistrate Liu was a little embarrassed: "It's better to prepare for a rainy day."
Without further ado, Chen Zikun ordered people to raise a white flag and wave it on top of the city.
Beside the grove in the distance, the bandit leaders gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
Suddenly Liang Maocai shouted: "They surrendered."
The handle of the big ladle lowered the bamboo hat, and the midday sun was shining brightly.
I looked at the south gate of the county seat, and a big flag was fluttering at the top of the city.
"It doesn't look like I can't hold on after being beaten all morning."
Dadaobazi said, "Old Shi, go and see what's going on."

"I got the order."
Liang Maocai jumped on his horse and left the city.
After a while, he came to the city and shouted: "We can't fight yet!"
Yao Yilei also participated in the battle in the city.
When she saw her kidnapper coming to the city, she picked up a shotgun and was about to draw fire.
Chen Zikun held down the barrel of the gun and said, "Now is not the time to kill him."
Miss Yao lowered the gun angrily. mouth.
Chen Zikun replied: "You have been playing all morning.
You must be tired.
How about taking a break and then playing again."
Liang Maocai laughed wildly: "You are tired, but we are not.
You dared to coax me yesterday.
Wait until I enter the city and see how I deal with you."
Chen Zikun said: "It's a joke.
We are fighting smoothly.
You will never be able to enter the city in your lifetime.
I think you are pitiful.
I will allow you to carry away the wounded and never shoot."
Liang Maocai thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then it's up to you.
Let's rest for half an hour before fighting.
We'll carry the wounded away."
Chen Zikun said: "Wait a minute, I still have a gift for you."
Liang Maocai became alert and pressed his hand on the handle of the gun: "What?"
Chen Zikun waved his hand, and the city gate opened, the suspension bridge was lowered, and several people drove a pig and two sheep out, as well as a basket of fragrant steamed buns with eggs and green onions.
"Brothers have worked very hard.
It's not too late to attack the city after you've eaten."
Chen Zikun said extremely generously.
Liang Maocai couldn't figure out what kind of medicine the other party was selling in the gourd, but he still asked people to accept the pigs, sheep and steamed buns, and also asked people to carry the wounded with bare hands.
The guard envoy not only asked the other party to carry away the wounded, but also sent pigs, sheep and baked buns.
This strange behavior puzzled everyone.
If it were not for their identity, some people would have cursed.
Only County Magistrate Liu and Chief of Staff Yan understood Chen Zikun's intentions.
"The guard is using a trick."
County Magistrate Liu said.
Chief of Staff Yan added: "Yes, this is an attack on the enemy's morale.
Wounded soldiers not only increase the enemy's burden, but also reduce the enemy's morale.
Sending pigs and sheep to bake steamed buns also shows the demeanor of our army and our well-prepared chances of victory.
Protecting the army This plan will kill people without blood."
Everyone was in awe.
Chen Zikun waved his hands with a wry smile, sat down in the Grand Master's chair, and fought all morning.
Finally, he had time to breathe.
He slowly loaded bullets into the magazine and asked, "The messenger should have crossed the river by now, right?"
County Magistrate Liu said: "That's almost it.
There is a regiment of the provincial army stationed in the south of the Yangtze River.
As soon as they are dispatched, the bandits will retreat in a hurry."

Yan Su said: "Zhao Yufeng has arrived at the tiger's mouth now, but even if he works hard, it will take him a day and a night to get to Xuzhou."
Chen Zikun nodded.
In fact, he couldn't count on the reinforcements from these two places.
He just wanted to give everyone a psychological comfort.
The only thing he could count on was actually another reinforcement.
Chen Qingfeng disguised himself as a Taoist boy and had already left the city.
In the small woods outside the city, Da Lao Ba Zi and others were dumbfounded when they saw a pig, two sheep, and a basket full of eggs, green onions, and steamed buns.
The solid-eyed Lao Ba happily reached out to get the steamed buns, but was stopped by his elder brother.
Drink: "Aren't you afraid of poison?"
Lao Ba quickly retracted his hand.
The military advisor unfolded the folding fan and shook it a few times, then said: "The other party acts openly and aboveboard, and will never use such dirty tricks.
I can guarantee that it is absolutely harmless."
As soon as Lao Ba heard this, he immediately took a piece and ate it.
Bandits always ate wherever they went.
They didn't have the habit of carrying heavy supplies of dry food.
They thought they could attack the city in one morning and feast on it, but they didn't expect to get it.
Now we have lost our troops and generals, and we can't even reach the edge of the moat.
"I just know how to eat it."
He shook his hand with the handle of the big ladle, and the riding whip seemed to have eyes.
It wrapped around the steamed bun in Lao Ba's hand.
With another shake, the steamed bun turned into pieces.
"This person is not simple.
He wants to destroy my morale."
Da Laozi's face was gloomy, and his eyes under the bamboo hat were staring at the Nantai city wall in the distance.
Under the bright afternoon sun, the Nantai city wall looks so majestic and indestructible.
This city was built during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty.
Fierce battles took place when the Qing army went south.
Later, during the Xianfeng period, the county magistrate strengthened the city wall to resist the Nianzi attack for three months.
There are countless innocent souls under the city.
The wounded who were carried back wailed all over the field.
The bandits were dejected and their morale was greatly reduced.
The bandits were originally suitable for guerrilla warfare and were not good at attacking tough battles.
After experiencing setbacks, they easily became discouraged.
Dadaobazi was very angry.
He mobilized almost all his colleagues in the county to attack the city.
If he failed to succeed, where would he put his face?
The military advisor offered advice: "It's a big deal, why don't you let Lord Jiu lead someone to try it?"
Da Laozi hesitated, but only for a moment.
"In the middle, let Lao Jiu lead a charge."
Master Jiu's qualifications are relatively junior, only one seat higher than Lao Shi Liang Maocai, and he has the fewest brothers, only No. 70 or 80, and the weapons are the worst, which are old-fashioned shotguns and firecrackers, but the mental outlook of the brothers is not at all Not bad, a small green cloth jacket, gripper boots, and a cowhide belt, with a gourd tied to each side.
The gourds were brushed five or six times with tung oil and were shiny.
One was filled with gunpowder and the other was filled with iron sand.
There was no need to worry about running out of ammunition. .
Lao Jiusheng was tall and mighty, with dark skin and piercing eyes.
He was dressed in black clothes, black riding boots on his feet, and a pair of shells on his waist.

He came up and held his hand in the wind: "Big Ladle Handle" with an accent similar to that of a military advisor, with a hint of Yanzhao taste.
The big ladle said: "Old Jiu, what have you been doing all morning?
I haven't seen you anywhere."
Lao Jiu said: "I went to the nearby village to get something."
"What you got is not just robbing women, right?"
Lao Ba laughed beside him.
Lao Jiu said: "I took some carts, door panels, tables, quilts, iron pots and so on."
Da Laozi's eyes lit up: "You can do it, kid.
It's up to you this time.
I'll capture Nantai City and let you take over for a day first."
"Thank you," Lao Jiuyi handed over his hand and led his brothers into battle.
They first soaked the quilts in water, then spread them on the door panels and tables, then piled a layer of soil on top, and pushed them forward in a cart.
They walked slowly but steadily, and everyone was hidden in the cart.
Or behind the car, not even showing his head.
On the city wall, Chen Zikun raised his telescope and looked at the strange team in the distance.
He couldn't help but be shocked: "No, the bandits have unearthed a tank."
Wang Degui asked: "What is a tank?"
Chen Zikun said: "This is a foreign language.
What you don't understand is that it means armored chariot."
Laojiu's earthen tanks put great psychological pressure on the militia.
It seemed impenetrable.
Not only could fire blunderbuss and lead pins be impenetrable, but artillery could not penetrate it either.
A hail of bullets poured over the city.
No big deal, just continue to move forward slowly.
Chen Zikun panicked, took a rifle and aimed at it.
He was sure he had hit, and the cart stopped.
"Don't use firecrackers, use quick guns to shoot," Chen Zikun ordered.
However, there are not many fast guns left on the city wall.
Originally, the firearms were miscellaneous, with various calibers.
Some bullets only had a dozen rounds in stock, and they were all used up long ago.
Now only the Hanyang of seventy-nine calibers is left.
He was able to fire, but after a flurry of gunfire, the bandits still moved forward.
As the distance got closer, everyone became more and more frightened.
In fact, Chen Zikun's shot did kill the bandit hiding in the car, but Master Jiu strictly ordered that whoever dared to take half a step back would have his head smashed first, and whoever climbed the city wall first would be rewarded with a reward of five hundred yuan, so the bandit They bravely moved forward.
"The big ladle said, if we take the city, let's grab it for a day.
There are gold and silver treasures in the city, egg buns, and a tender little wife.
They are slippery to the touch."
Jiuye's highly inflammatory words made the bandits salivate and they were so motivated that they actually pushed them to the moat.
Bullets hit the sandbags and quilts.
The bandits suffered heavy casualties, but their morale was still high.
"Brothers, fight!"
Lord Jiu gave the order and jumped out first to hit the city with two box guns.
The bandits also came out one after another and blasted with firecrackers.
For a time, gunpowder smoke filled the air and wailings were heard on the city walls.
"Let's go!"

Lao Jiu took the lead and stepped on the ladder to cross the moat.
Seeing how tough the leader was, the little bandits also shouted, dropped their empty muskets, pulled out their bright swords, and stepped on the ladder.
After crossing the river, take advantage of the situation and pull the ladder up to the city wall.
The bandits finally stormed the city wall of Nantai County
