Chapter 21 Attack on Zhao Jiabao 4

At night, Liu Xia and more than 700 soldiers raised torches and marched towards Zhaojiabao. Then Liu Xia asked more than 100 soldiers from a brigade of the Wolf Xiaoying Camp to guard the gate of Zhaojiabao and not let anyone go out.

Then he rushed to the castle with the remaining 600 soldiers. The sound of horses' hoofs quickly woke up many people in Zhaojiabao. Liu Xia now doesn't care whether she is exposed or not, because even if it is exposed now, it is meaningless. Within more than ten miles of Zhaojiabao, there is no other family, because The area of more than ten miles is his Zhao family's field. Of course, there will be no other people.

The interior of Zhao Jiabao is not small. Liu Xia does not plan to gather all the troops to break through one by one. Liu Xia's main goal is the Zhao family's mansion in Zhao Jiabao. 90% or even more of Zhao Jiabao's wealth is in the Zhao family compound. However, Liu Xia, who is not going to let go of the relatives of the Zhao family outside. They also have a lot of grain in their hands. Liu Xia now doesn't know how far she will walk. Of course, the more grain she grabs, the better.

Liu Xia rode on the horse and said to a guard beside him, "Go and find Ma Peng, Niu Chao and Chen Liu in the city."

The bodyguard hurriedly rode away.

Then Liu Xia ordered more than 100 soldiers from a brigade of Langxiao Camp to rob and rob the relatives of the Zhao family who were evil in the fort. The last brigade of the remaining guards, Hu Ben Camp and Langxiao Camp followed Liu Xia to the Zhao family's mansion.

The Zhao family's mansion is in the center of Zhao Jiabao. From the gate to Zhao Jiabao, it can go straight to the gate of the Zhao family mansion, so Liu Xia did not take any detours. In a moment, she has arrived at the Zhao family's mansion. Under the light of hundreds of torches, Zhao Jiabao is red.

The Zhao family's compound is divided into the inner courtyard, the outer courtyard and the backyard. The people living in the outer courtyard are mainly some low-level chores, and the inner courtyard are some high-ranking servants and armed householders. There are also some relatives of the Zhao family. The place where the Zhao family has been discussed. The backyard is where the owner of the Zhao family lives. This place is generally not allowed to let outsiders in. It is full of men and women of the Zhao family.

At this time, the Zhao family's mansion was also awakened by the sound of the horses' hoofs of Liu Xia and others. The whole mansion was chaotic at this time. After all, now that the enemy has invaded the Zhao family's castle, the Zhao family's mansion can definitely not be defended.

The owner of the Zhao family, Zhao Yan heard that it was messy outside and looked at the sky. He thought it was on fire, so he quickly climbed down from the warm quilt and concubine's body, put on his clothes under the care of the concubine, and then walked out of the door. As soon as he walked out of the door, Zhao Si, the housekeeper of the Zhao family, was in a hurry. Run over.

Zhao Si ran to Zhao Yan out of breath, then took a deep breath and said anxiously to Zhao Yan, "The master is not good. I don't know where the thief actually entered our castle. Now our mansion is surrounded by them."

Zhao Yan was shocked when he heard this. Originally, he thought that there might be a fire outside. He didn't expect that he was attacked into the fort. He was still very confident in Zhao Jiabao. If he didn't have a large number of siege equipment and cannons and other things, it would be difficult to enter Zhao Jiabao, so he quickly asked Zhao Si. He said, "Who are all the people from outside? How many people have come? How did they get in? By the way, is the wave back?"

How did Zhao Si know this? He just sneaked to the gate and saw from the crack of the door that there were a pile of horses riding outside, tall horses, and the torch was estimated to be more than 500, and he also heard the screams of other people in Zhao's castle one after another, thinking that in addition to this. There should be other people in the city who surround the Zhao family's mansion, and there should be no less than thousands of people in total.

So Zhao Si said to Zhao Yan, "Master, the third son, the third son has not come back. I may live somewhere now."

As soon as Zhao Yan heard Zhao Si say that Zhao Lang did not come back, he was also relieved. Since he did not come back, even if he was killed by these thieves, the Zhao family could keep a incense, but he didn't know that Zhao Lang was already dead at this time.

Zhao Si continued: "Sir, there are a lot of people outside now. It is estimated that there are thousands of people. I don't know how these people came in. It is said that our Zhaojiabao is so strong that it doesn't make sense to come in without a sound. These people come here on horseback. Sir, can we keep it? Live it."

Zhao Yan was silent as soon as he heard this, thought for a while, and said, "You send people out and ask those people what they want. I give them money and food, and let them go quickly after they finish their things." Zhao Yan had no choice but to say this. Now there are only 200 people who can take up arms and fight in the whole Zhao family mansion. The rest are their wives and children, as well as some old servants. Outside, there is a group of tall bandits. How to fight them is not as good as that little money to eliminate disasters. After all, Zhao Yan is not at all. If you care about that, of course, the premise is not to empty his hometown.

Zhao Si listened and quickly turned around and left. At the same time, Zhao Yan quickly went to the front yard of Zhao's mansion to organize armed officials. If he couldn't reach an agreement, he had to be prepared. At the same time, he was also ready to send people to the county to move rescuers.

Zhao Si took the order and chose two tall men to go out with him. At this time, he was very scared, but he had to go out, so he chose the two most powerful families to accompany him.

Outside

Liu Xia surrounded the Zhao family's mansion and was discussing how to enter the Zhao family's mansion with Zhang Yuan, Liu Dazhuang, Ma Peng, Chen Liu and others, who had been found. Then a head came out from the small tower at the gate of the Zhao family's mansion. The layout of the Zhao family's mansion is also built according to the city, but the wall is much shorter, only one foot high, and the small gate is naturally not high. Because as soon as the head came out, Liu Xia found it, so he shouted at the head, "Who are you? Open the door immediately and let us enter, or we will bear the consequences."

The man first played a small white flag, then raised it, and then slowly stood up. This person was Zhao Si, the housekeeper of the Zhao family, and then two iron tower-like sards appeared behind him. Zhao Si smiled at Liu Xia and said, "I don't know where you are from? The little Zhao Si is the housekeeper of the Zhao family. I don't know if all the good men come to our Zhao family to work with you? All the good men must have worked very hard all the way. Our master has made friends and is willing to offer 2,000 taels of silver to all the good men. I hope you can accept it with a smile.

Zhao Si looked down and saw Chen Liu, and scolded in his heart. It turned out that it was you who attracted these robbers. However, looking at so many people as Liu Xia, he did not dare to scold him. He could only secretly remember the fact that Chen Liu introduced Liu Xia and others. .

(two thousand taels of silver, equivalent to the current RMB of about one million yuan)

After listening to this, Liu Xia grabbed the hissing war horse and smiled coldly. Two thousand taels, two thousand taels want to send us off? The other generals also thought the same. They looked at Zhao Si like idiots. They worked hard to enter Zhaojiabao, not to covet 2,000 taels of silver. Now tell them to give you 2,000 taels of silver to get out of here. How will they agree?

Zhao Si saw that Liu Xia and others didn't send a glance, and didn't even look at themselves. He knew that this group of people were afraid of their appetite, so he hurriedly said, "Three thousand taels, three thousand taels plus two hundred stones of grain. How about all the good men? How about it? My master said that as long as all the good men withdraw from Zhaojiabao first, three thousand taels of silver plus Two hundred stone grain will be served immediately."

Ma Peng couldn't help shouting angrily at Zhao Si, "Three thousand taels of silver? Sending a begd? Open the door immediately, or don't blame Grandpa for being rude."

After listening to this, Zhao Si thought that it was originally to send beghuazi. After all, the clothes worn by Jingxiao and others at this time were indeed very tattered, indeed like beglings. But Zhao Si didn't dare to say anything, because he saw that Liu Xia's men had a lot of archers aiming at him at this time. If he dared to say something unpleasant and bad words, he would probably be immediately killed by the hornet's nest.

Although Zhao Si kept scolding Liu Xia and others for being greedy and shameless and many other unbearable words in his heart, on the surface, he licked his big belly and looked at Liu Xia with a smile.

Liu Xia is not in the mood to negotiate with Zhao Si. After all, Liu Xia had wanted to loot all Zhao Jiabao before. At this time, how can the 3,000 taels of silver given by the Zhao family satisfy Liu Xia's appetite? So Liu Xia immediately ordered to attack the door. With an order, many bows and arrows began to shoot at Zhao Si, shooting Zhao Si to death on the spot.

One of the two family sardines behind Zhao Si also died in a random arrow, and the other ran away. I guess he couldn't report the news.

When the Zhao family compound was built, they did not want to be attacked, so the door was not very strong and was soon opened. Except for a few small gates ordered by Liu Xia to guard the Zhao family courtyard, others rushed into the Zhao family courtyard like a tide.

At this time, the family member had run to the inner courtyard to tell Zhao Yan about the scene at this time. Zhao Yan was very scared, but now his eldest son and second son are disabled, and he can't lead the family to fight at all. He is the only one who can command these family here. There is nothing he can do. He can only fight by himself and lead Two hundred armed vassals ran to the outer courtyard. At this time, the outer courtyard had been broken by Jing Xiao, and the servants and family vassals of the outer court were killed, and they began to march towards the inner courtyard.

In the past, when thieves were rampant in this place, Zhao Yan spent a lot of money to build armor weapons for his family, which was used at this time.

Compared with Zhao Yan's family, Liu Xia's army is like a miscellaneous army, but when it comes to combat effectiveness, these family members are not the opponents of Liu Xia's miscellaneous army at all. After all, these soldiers have been fighting all the way from the battlefield. They are real troops, not temporary combat units composed of the Zhao family members.
