Liu Jianyun finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He was so thrilling just now. If he turned a little slower, then when the bandits in the south rushed up, they would all be over. This was actually due to Li Jingming's retaliation. If he hadn't rushed up and let the bandits delay for a while, there would be no chance of life. The bandits in the east and west gates were killed. There were almost 200 people in the two routes. Now there are at least 100 guns in the south. How many bandits are there to enter the city tonight? Liu Jianyun was afraid that there would be a few bands of bandits to come, so he hurriedly found Zhong Guan. "Sir, the bandits' offensive is a little rest now, so Master Qiu on the upper floor is better to change the place."

Zhong Guanguang was still confused from the beginning to now. In a panic, he only followed everyone to shoot. At this time, the gunshots stopped and Liu Jianyun called for a long time without any response. In fact, most of the people who first went to the battlefield were like this. When the gunshots sounded, they were in their minds and didn't know what they had done. Liu Jianyun did not urge him. He only waited for a while before Zhong Guanguang came to his senses, and then asked again, "Okay! OK! Take someone to take Master Qiu and the others right away, next." Liu Jianyun quickly took the order and left.

When he entered the restaurant, he was about to go upstairs, but he saw several shots from the upstairs. He quickly shouted, "Our own people, our own people, the Hu bandits have retreated, the Hu bandits have retreated, I'll look for Master Qiu, I'll look for Master Qiu."

He heard a harassement from the upper floor, and after a while the upstairs became quiet, the voice of the county magistrate Qiu sounded, "Is it Captain Li?"

Liu Jianyun replied, "Mr. Huiqiu, I am Liu Zisheng, the subordinate of Mr. Zhong. Commander Li is still outside to resist the enemy." At this moment, he dared not say that Li Jingming had died and all the patrol officers in the city were exhausted.

When he heard that it was Zhong Guangui's subordinate, the magistrate Qiu was relieved and hurriedly said to the gentry: "It's his own person, he is my nephew's subordinate, let him come up." More than a dozen township heroes guarding the stairs immediately moved their guns away.

After Liu Jianyun came up to see him, he hurriedly said, "Master Qiu, my master is downstairs. The bandits were defeated just now. Now the countryside has dispersed, and it is probably difficult to defend the dozens of people. The master still moved to the east of the city. The Christian Church in Dongguan was very solid. Please wait there for reinforcements." After more than a month in Tonghua, Liu Jianyun still knew about some of the street buildings in the city. The Christ Church in Dongguan was destroyed during the Gengzi period. Last year, Tonghua was recovered by the Qing army, and the church sent people to repair it. The stones used for this restoration were very solid. It was because Liu Jianyun replied and suggested that he withdraw there.

As soon as Liu Jianyun said this, everyone's hearts rose again. I thought the Hu bandits had really retreated, but who knew they had just retreated temporarily, and maybe they would attack again at some point. In this case, they were all in their hearts leaving here and heading towards Dongguan. However, the magistrate of Qiu County was a court official after all, so he was still very taboo to the foreigners. "Then the Christ Church is the property of the foreigners. What if it is damaged?"

Liu Jianyun had never been an official and did not understand the officials of the Qing Dynasty. Seeing that he was hesitant, he had to say, "Master, whether you go to Christ Church or not, this place is not a place for a long time. You can't stay here with just a fire. You'd better quit first." As soon as Liu Jianyun finished speaking, everyone responded loudly. Seeing this, County Magistrate Qiu had to agree that the restaurant was indeed unsafe.

Just as the gentry and men on the upper floor retreated from the back door, the dozen or so fleeing bandits on the East Street finally circled most of the city from the east to the Dajiangdong team on the South Street.

"What, Ding Lanqi has slept, and all his cubs have also slept?" - In order to seek good fortune, the bandits never said death, but only said they slept after death. Dajiangdong's black face became darker and darker. He had guessed this news before, otherwise why wouldn't Ding Lanqi have been moved when he attacked just now? But with his understanding of Ding Lanqi, it was hard to believe that this ghost-headed toad eyes had been destroyed. He pointed his hand at the escaped cubs with a gun, and asked, "All the words are told?"

These little kids immediately kowtowed and cursed. Seeing that they were not pretending to be fake, Dajiangdong immediately took a breath in his heart. Seeing this, Master Ma next to him hurriedly comforted him: "Boss, this time he entered this circle, which is very unlucky. I see..."

When Dajiangdong heard this, he immediately found some comfort and asked, "What do you think of the master? Is there still a show this time?"

Master Ma was actually not sure. No. 300 people were killed and two hundred, but he didn't know how many dogs there were in the city, and the fleeing village warriors, because they didn't take the opportunity to catch up, and when they came to their senses and joined forces with the dogs just now, the number of people would be much higher than their own family. If the city gate was sealed, it would be terrible. Of course, if you can't say anything about retreating, after all, you have to save so many lives in this city, so you have to make some money.

"The boss, this battle must be done quickly. Once the ugly time passes, the rooster crows together, and we will be very disadvantageous." Master Ma finally made up a nonsense. "Ugly? The rooster crows?" Dajiangdong was confused. He said that he could only work at night. But at night, he could not do anything except Liangzi. Moreover, the house occupied by the west side of the city now knew that the houses were all poor people, so what kind of oil can be squeezed out? The richest Dongguan in the city is far away. It seems that this restaurant has to be fought. Dajiangdong made a plan in his mind and coaxed all the kids who ran back and immediately asked someone to put Liangzi over.

Dozens of people in the restaurant retreated in less than a quarter of an hour. This place is not far from Dongguan. The factory guard team had already smashed the gate of the Christ Church according to Liu Jianyun's previous arrangement. Everyone hurriedly got in. Although Master Qiu was very unhappy, saving his life was important at this time, and he hurried in. As for the matter of foreigners, he had to wait until the Hu bandits retreated before reporting to the court. The people of the factory guard team gradually retreated from the street and were ambushed on both sides of the East Street. Liu Jianyun didn't know how many Hu bandits were, so he had to defend the enemy just in case. Fortunately, there were not many people who had been reduced before. In addition, the more than ten township heroes above the building had estimated that there were still eighty or ninety people left. These people could still defend with their shotguns and terrain. They just didn't know where the retreating township heroes had gone. If they were there, it would be foolproof.

"Wang Lao Er, Wang Lao Er," Liu Jianyun shouted a name. After a while, a man appeared, "How many people do you want to take to see if you can catch a bandit, and ask how many bandits came tonight?" Although he killed two bandits, not knowing the specific number of the other party made Liu Jianyun very uneasy.

Wang Laoer responded. He was a hunter from Tianmu Mountain, and his shooting skills were accurate. He quickly hid in the night with a few people. While waiting, Liu Jianyun saw that each of the bandits on the South Street was holding a few torches and throwing them away from the restaurant. The wooden building was originally destroyed during the Gengzi period and was newly built last year, but it was still built. A fire broke out in a short while. At a time, the neighboring shop next to the restaurant screamed. Several people ran to the bandits and were tied up by them.

In the fire, Dajiangdong did not see the dogs just now, nor did he see the seedlings running out of the building. He immediately knew that the seedlings had all withdrawn. He quickly led people to chase East Street, but as soon as he left the street, he was shot back by a shotgun. The factory guard team let the bandits shoot from afar without fighting back because they were not far away. But as long as they had entered the range, they would fire hard. The bandits had no choice. The two sides could hold each other at the intersection of East Street. Seeing that the situation had stabilized for a while, Liu Jianyun immediately asked the remaining village heroes to gather the people who had dispersed before, otherwise he would be unable to defend them.

There is no good idea for the stalemate of the war. The Gouzi opposite was too powerful. Many people were sprayed on the ground by rushing over. Only a hundred people could fight on his side, so it was unwise to divide the troops again. Because there was no one to put out the fire, the three-story wooden building in the southeast corner burned like a huge torch. Fortunately, the wind was small at night, so it didn't spread around for a while.

When everyone stared at the torches, the township warrior who was sent to accommodate the defeated soldiers came back and brought back more than 40 people. The responsible leader said to Liu Jianyun: "Master, I only found these, and the others ran out of the city and could not be collected for a while." Liu Jianyun didn't care about so many people, and only someone could be used. Although there were not many of these 40 people, they could still use the highest level in the factory protection team, especially because they all had fast guns, which complemented the shotguns of the factory protection team. If it weren't in the streets and alleys, and at night, if his shortcomings of not being able to attack from afar were discovered by the bandits, it would be a disaster. More than 50 people were put into the position and arranged it, he returned to Christ Church to discuss countermeasures with Zhong Guansu.

At this time, the pastor of Christ Church Xing Ziheng was already shocked. Tonghua was originally a remote place, but even the remote places had churches, especially the money paid to the church in the Boxer Indemnity. For a time, more than 1,300 counties in China had churches, and these churches were built well, and some were even better than those built by the yamen. The church only sent one Chinese believer here to take care of everything, and the gunshots made all the lights in the city.

It was destroyed. Because of Gengzi's memory, when the church door was smashed open, Xing Ziheng hid himself tightly. It was not until the church entered and heard the voice of the county magistrate Qiu. He came out. After the conversation, he realized that it was the bandits who were feeling relieved. Everyone was talking in a low voice, and more gentry prayed for the blessing of the Bodhisattva in the Church of Christ, promising that they would come back to fulfill their wishes and shape the golden body after being sad. Suddenly, a small crack was opened in the gate, and it was Liu Jianyun who came in.

"Sir, sir." Liu Jianyun couldn't see the situation inside clearly in the darkness, so he had to shout in a low voice.

When Zhong Guanguang heard Liu Jianyun's voice, he hurriedly called him to come. County Magistrate Qiu asked, "What's the matter outside? Have the bandits retreated? Where is General Li?" After the battle formation, Zhong Guanguang realized that he was completely in trouble in the team, so he stayed in the Christ Church with Chen Qubing. Through the crack of the door, he could only see the quiet outside. Apart from the fire in Fusheng Restaurant, the cold guns and constant shouting, he could not see any movement in the bandits.

"I have not retreated yet. We are waiting at the intersection of Dongjie Street, and the bandits cannot come for a while." Liu Jianyun briefly talked about the situation outside. When he saw Li Jingming, he no longer concealed it like he had just been in the restaurant. He just whispered: "Master, Mr. Li has died."

The magistrate Qiu heard the sound and said a little, but after all, he had been nourishing his energy for decades and did not scream. After a little slowing down, he said to Liu Jianyun: "The attack of the Hu bandits is dull. You can send someone to ring the bell on the East Gate Tower. There was an appointment before that if there were police, they would ring the bell, and the Yongding general gathered."

Liu Jianyun was not easy to refute, so he had to say that the Hu bandits had been in the city for a long time, and everyone was probably scared and dared not go out of the house. But he did not dare to go against Master Qiu's wishes, so he had to send a few people to ring. After a while, the bell rang again in the city. In the dead of night, the bell was heard. The people outside the pass were really fierce. Seeing that the Hu bandits entered the city, they were all avoiding the gunshots at home and did not dare to come out. At this time, he heard someone knocking on the alarm bell from the east gate. He knew that the patrol officer was still resisting, and he ran out with great enthusiasm.

Under the moonlight, some figures appeared one after another in the darkness, either holding sticks or forks. At first, they looked a little stroking and looking around. After seeing that the bandits standing under the bell tower were not bandits, they ran over. Everyone was divided into A, and in a short while more than 100 people gathered. Except for a few of these people, the patrolmen who lived in the previous home, the others were all friends from shops near Dongguan - these were Yongding from the original Baojia. Although they had no guns, there were also quite a few people holding sticks, knives and forks, which boosted the morale of the defenders.

Liu Jianyun was about to go up and arrange that Wang Laoer, who had been arrested before, came back. He caught a bandit, but one of the people who went there was also injured. "Report to the team officer, there were more than 300 bandits, and there were more than 30 people in the cavalry team. The leader was called Dajiangdong."

It's good to understand the situation. At night, I was in the dark and could not tell how many people there were. Now it seems that there are only a hundred bandits left, and there are 130 to 40 people on his side without adding armor. One-on-one can still be played. Liu Jianyun had a plan in his mind and hurriedly called a patrolman and asked him to find a few people familiar with South Street to come, intending to ask for a clear way to go and trample the bandits' retreat.

When the bell at the east gate hit the first time, Master Ma's heart pounded wildly. He immediately found Dajiangdong, who was commanding the boys to plunder hard, and whispered, "The master, the hour of the year has arrived, the astrological signs have shifted, so you can't stay here for a long time!"
