Chapter 97
Chapter 95: Persuade To Surrender
On the mass grave, dozens of men in gray robes were gathered there, looking nervously at the town. Only a few of them had weapons in their hands, while the rest didn’t even have a stick. Looking at the age, there are old and young, the oldest has white hair, and the youngest is afraid that the hair is not full.
These people, including those with weapons in their hands, were all uneasy, and their eyes staring in the direction of the town did not dare to move.
On one of the tallest graves stood a thin man with a long chin. Like the people below, he was also led by the fighting in the town. He didn’t let out until he saw his soldiers and horses rushing into the town. He breathed a sigh of relief, then jumped off the grave with excitement, and danced to the back of a grave.
Behind the mound, a strong man was sitting cross-legged, holding a roast chicken in his left hand and a large knife in his right hand. When the sharp chin came, the strong man was nibbling on the chicken legs with great taste, and his appetite was not affected at all by the ongoing battle in the town.
“Chen Tou, Qiu Ba and the others rushed in, we don’t need to go in depending on the situation.”
Because he didn’t have to fight hard at home, his pointed chin was very happy. He leaned close to the strong man and said, but his eyes stared straight at the half roast chicken in the strong man’s hands, and his throat swallowed involuntarily. .
“You foodie!”
The strong man casually threw the half-eaten roast chicken to Pointy Chin, suddenly slapped him amidst the cheers of Pointy Chin, and scolded, “They’re bastards, what are you! A thing! If you don’t have a long memory, be careful that I will tear your mouth!”
“Yes, yes, small is not a thing, small is not a thing, remember that small, don’t dare to talk nonsense next time, calm down, calm down…”
The pointed chin laughed. Although his face was burning with pain, his smile did not change. While biting half of the roast chicken in his mouth, he opened the jug beside the strong man, and flattered him and said: “Head, come, have a drink, and smooth your stomach.”
Reaching out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling face, the strong man gave a pointed chin angrily, took the jug and took a few gulps, then got up and stretched, without avoiding anyone, he loosened his trouser belt and faced the grave. He started to urinate, shaking his head while urinating, with a pleasant look on his face.
The pointed chin looked at the side, and even showed a stunned look. Although he didn’t say anything, the strong man was very useful when he saw him like this. Obviously, the strong man is also very satisfied with his own guy, even saying “what a strange man” is not an exaggeration.
As soon as he finished peeing, the strong man shook nervously, fastened his trousers belt hastily, patted the shoulder of his pointed chin with the hand that touched the big bird just now, and grinned, “Qianhu and the others attacked?”
“We’ve attacked, Xiaoxiao watched carefully, Qinggou couldn’t stop it at all, Xinxing Town is ours!”
“Damn, why is this green camp so useless?”
Hearing the affirmation of the sharp chin, the strong man was not very happy, but a little disappointed. After a few seconds, he waved to the group of men whose hearts fell to the ground, and shouted: “Don’t look at it, Lord Qianhu has attacked. Your little lives have been saved.”
“Master Qianhu is brave! Taipingying is brave! Chen Tou is brave!”
As if they had practiced beforehand, a group of old and young men shouted the same words at the same time. If anyone else saw this, they would definitely be shocked, because the reactions of this group of people were really neat.
The strong man was very satisfied with the reaction of his subordinates, and he was not ashamed about the phrase “Chen Tou is brave”. After humming with a pretense of majesty, he waved to the crowd: “Go, follow Lao Tzu into the town and see!”
Everyone responded in unison: “Yes, Chen Tou!”
After walking a few steps, the strong man suddenly turned around and swept a group of his subordinates, then stared at them fiercely and said, “Remember this, your hands and feet should be agile when you go in, don’t let anyone get caught, and don’t let anyone else. Call it out, pick up the valuables and take it, don’t ask for the ones you can’t hide. If someone is not good enough to get caught and implicated Lao Tzu, don’t blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless, and give him a white knife in and a red knife out! Do you understand? !”
“Understood!”
Everyone took pictures of the strong man’s usual prestige, but Wei Wei nodded in response, and no one dared to show any dissatisfaction on his face.
The strong man glanced at the group of men he had trained again, and then waved his hand: “Let’s go!”

“Han people don’t kill Han people. Brothers in the Green Camp, you have no way to escape. My family has said that as long as you put down your weapons and surrender, my Taiping Army will absolutely guarantee your safety!”
“It’s almost time for a stick of incense. If you don’t come out and surrender, don’t blame us for setting fire to the house!”
The largest house in Xinxing Town should be the residence of Li Meng, an official of the Ming Dynasty. After the Qing army occupied Guangdong, Li Meng was killed because he refused to shave his hair and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. His home was also occupied by the Qing army. Zhao Shiyu moved from Zhaoqing to defend Xinxing. Afterwards, the Li family was used as the residence of his chief lord. Because Li Meng was an official in the Nanjing Ministry of Industry before he died, so after he became an official, he built the house in his hometown like a garden in the south of the Yangtze River. The courtyard has mountains, water, bamboo and flowers, and it is very quiet~www.readwn.com~ Zhao Shiyuquezhan After Dove’s Nest, he stayed in the courtyard almost every day with the two women who were snatched from Guangzhou. Take the boss out of the house for a visit.
Now, Zhao Shiyu has no choice but to leave the house. His indecision made him miss the best chance to escape. By the time he found out that he couldn’t leave, the Taiping Army had already dealt with the green battalion soldiers who were resisting outside. It directly surrounded the Li Mansion.
The courtyard wall of Li Mansion was built quite high, and there were as many as a hundred Green Battalion soldiers who had retreated into the mansion. In addition, Zhao Shiyu had more than a dozen armored soldiers. Relying on the cover of the courtyard wall, they were stubbornly resisting. Biting people, the remaining green camp soldiers were trapped in a beast fight, and the Taiping army was unable to break into it for a while, so the scene of persuasion to surrender appeared.
At the same time as persuading him to surrender, Zhou Shixiang ordered Ge Yi, Jiang He, Shao Jiugong and other general banners to lead their troops to search the whole town, and ordered Tie Yi’s troops to block the roads in and out of Xinxing, so that a green battalion should not slip through the net.
To investigate the fish that slipped through the net of the green camp, it is inevitable to search the house. As a result, the chickens and dogs in Xinxing Town suddenly became uneasy, and the people were already panicked. What kind of soldiers and horses were the Taiping army and whether they would harm their family members, so they resisted the Taiping army with farm tools, iron tools and even kitchen knives. As a result, more than a dozen innocent ghosts were added to the town.
The persuasion to surrender had no effect. After the stipulated time, the green battalion soldiers in Li’s house still had no intention of surrendering. Zhou Shixiang was in a hurry and ordered the house to be set on fire. Before the gate of the mansion, as soon as the green camp rushed out, they threw thunderbolts to kill them.
