Chapter 330: Spies
Seeing that the rebels who had been repulsed just now were coming again, they were still followed by the elite of the Red Banner who were captured in the east.
Li Cunxiao immediately urged him to step forward to kill the enemy, and at the same time ordered a 100-strong Xuanjia Army to organize the people who had been taken captive from the east to quickly enter the city.
The people didn't have time to thank the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, and quickly rushed to the gate of Liaoyang, knowing that only by entering the city could they be truly safe.
Qi Jiguang was very satisfied with Li Cunxiao's arrangement, he picked up the binoculars, carefully observed this group of Ming people who reached 1,000 people, and then said:
"Qi passes."
Hearing the governor call him, a commander immediately ran to Qi Jiguang and bowed:
"Qi Tong arrives."
"Qi Tong, immediately lead a team of 1,000 people under your command to welcome the people into the city, find a place to settle them after entering the city, and ......"
Qi Jiguang said At this time, he suddenly whispered a few words in Qi Tong's ear, Qi Tong nodded hurriedly, and then ran down the city with a team of thousands of people under his command.
After Qi Tong left, Qi Jiguang picked up the binoculars and looked out of the city, at this time Li Cunxiao led the Xuanjia Army and the Han Army and the Eastern Capture Zheng Red Banner were already fighting together.
"Huang Ming, leave a thousand Qi family troops and Huang Fei to guard the city, and the others immediately go out of the city to fight, bring enough ammunition and tiger squat cannons."
"Yes"
Huang Ming agreed, and then waved his hand:
"All the Qi family troops obeyed the order, leaving a thousand-strong team to defend the city, and the others brought ammunition and tiger squat artillery and immediately went out of the city."
"Yes"
At this time, Qi Tong had already opened the city gate to let the people into the city, and more than 1,000 people rushed to enter Liaoyang City, and many people began to cry bitterly, and finally survived.
Qi Tong kept his eyes on the team behind the people, urging them to enter the city quickly, but there were more than 200 people behind them who walked very slowly.
After finally entering the city gate, they looked back at the battlefield and suddenly began to grab the city gate.
The abnormal behavior of these people made the other people who entered the city first very unhappy, and they pointed at them and scolded them.
However, these people were not moved at all, and instead began to attack the soldiers guarding the city gates.
Qi Tong snorted coldly:
"Qi Jiajun, prepare to shoot."
He immediately raised his flintlock pistol and aimed it at the people.
Huang Ming waved his hand:
"Fire, shoot them all."
These people don't believe that the Ming army shoots at all, don't they all say that the Ming saint loves the people like a son now?
"You can't shoot, we are ordinary people, if you dare to shoot at our people, the Holy God will not spare you."
While a few people were talking, someone behind them was quietly approaching the drawbridge.
"Bang Bang ......"
Suddenly, a burst of gunfire rang out, and the people who were about to cut the iron chains were killed by the Qi family army without hesitation, and their bodies shook a few times and fell into the moat.
"Why do you shoot at the people, is this still the Ming army, we have to find Qi Dudu to reason."
A middle-aged man walked towards Qi Tong as he spoke, and the others immediately followed behind him and approached Qi Tong and the others, Qi Tong smiled coldly:
"What, you still want to kidnap my Qi family's army?"
Qi Tong only said one sentence, and suddenly waved his hand.
"Bang Bang ......"
Qi Jiajun, who was standing behind him, immediately pulled the trigger, and a thousand flintlock muskets fired almost simultaneously, and in more than a dozen breaths, only one of the more than two hundred people was still alive.
But his legs had been broken by bullets and he could only writhe desperately on the ground.
This sudden change made the other people tremble.
They are now beginning to suspect that the Ming army doesn't treat them as human beings, why don't they say a word and suddenly shoot!
Qi Tong walked to the man's side, raised his foot and stepped on the place where he was shot, and his toes deliberately turned hard, and the thing screamed in pain.
"You guys, there is no difference between you and the group of people outside, I'm ...... grass."
"Smack......
He still had a cursive word for his mouth, and Qi Tong slapped him hard, knocking out two of this kid's front teeth, and he didn't dare to speak again at that time.
Seeing that he didn't dare to scream, Qi Tong said coldly:
"Don't think that if you pretend to be the people of the Ming Dynasty, the Qi family army will not be able to see it, and the governor will already see that you are a traitor."
"I ...... I said, this is all Dai Shan's idea, and the villain is also acting on orders, please let the general let me go this time......"
Seeing that the old bottom was exposed, this goods immediately began to beg for mercy, his face did not change color, his heart did not beat, and his skin was thicker than the city wall.
Qi Tong watched him perform coldly, and suddenly raised his foot and stepped on his neck.
"Click"
A crisp bone cracking sound sounded, and the kid's neck was trampled off.
After trampling on the traitors, Qi Tong ordered these corpses to be thrown outside the city, and then walked to the real people next to him and said:
"Don't be afraid, these people are pretending to be rebels, their purpose is to snatch the city gate to help the eastern Tartars enter the city, now please go with us to rest."
"Plop ......"
"Thank you to Governor Qi for saving us, and thank you to all the soldiers who defended the country."
More than 700 people knelt in front of Qi Tong, and they thanked the Ming army for saving them from the dire situation.
Qi Jiguang is really worthy of the Ming military god, he can not only march and fight, but also develop various military weapons and equipment.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent has won all battles, and it is vividly realized in him.
Don't think that he can't defend the city out of cowardice, in fact, he is in order to preserve the strength of the Ming army, and he can also kill and injure a large number of living forces in the eastern captivity, this is not cowardice but tactics.
No matter how powerful you are, after all, it was still in the era of semi-cold weapons.
Rushing up and fighting with the Eastern Raiders is not bravery, but using their own shortcomings to touch the strengths of the Eastern Cavalry.
What is the purpose of fighting, that is, to minimize one's own losses and still win the war.
As long as you can win the battle, no matter what tactics you use, as long as you kill the opponent to the greatest extent, you are the king.
His observation of the enemy was equally subtle, and he could see at a glance that there were captives among the people.
The few words he whispered to Qi Tong were to make Qi Tong pay attention to the spies in the ranks of the people, and if they made any moves, they would be killed immediately.
Because he had carefully observed the people through the binoculars, ordinary people had experienced the catastrophe just now, and their faces were full of panic.
And although those rebel spies are dressed like ordinary people, their fears are all faked.
They didn't have a panicked expression at all, and their eyes were still flickering.
As soon as Qi Tong took the people away, Qi Jiguang personally led 10,000 Qi family troops to rush out of the city gate and quickly fought in battle below the city.
He looked up at the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, who was fighting fiercely with the Eastern Tartars and the rebels, and ordered:
"Come on, let go of the arrows and let the Xuanjia Army retreat."
"Yes"
"Whoosh......"
A ringing arrow was fired into the air.
Li Cunxiao is wielding the Yuwang Divine Lance to kill the Tartars.
Suddenly seeing the signal, he immediately ordered Xuanjia to withdraw from the battle.
Withdrawing from the battle is an orderly exit, either fleeing, or fighting and retreating.
Li Cunxiao personally broke off to resist the pursuit of the Han army and the Eastern Cavalry, and the Xuanjia army quickly retreated behind the Qi army.
The Eastern Capture Tartars came to attack Liaoyang, of course they would not let go of the Xuanjia Army, and they also wanted to take the opportunity to capture the gate of Liaoyang.
The scimitar in Dai Shan's hand was raised high in the air, and the Eastern Cavalry rushed over.
