(Today, on the first day of the new year, I wish you all a happy new year, Wishing you prosperity, all the best, good family, good luck in the Year of the Dog, and a prosperous career...) ）

"Kill..."

Suddenly, there was a burst of shouts of killing at the gate of Hanyang.

"What's going on?"

In the dark, the primitive animal instinct of human beings naturally increases the sense of fear.

Even if there is a brazier in the city wall, it will not make the green battalion soldiers defending on the city wall road not afraid of this unknown shouting and killing.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?" On the gate of Hanyang, a defending green battalion Qianzong was shouting loudly.

"It's Manchurian, and the Manchurian soldiers in the city don't know what's going on. Killed and wounded too few of our brethren. ”

A voice responded to this thousand presidents.

At this time, no one would have thought that the Manchurian Eight Banners would betray this Manchu court. After all, this court is their full court, if they even want to betray this court, what court can be better for them?

It was precisely because of this that the defenders on the Hanyang Gate were confused, but the Manchurians were indeed rushing to kill them, and the number of them who led them to slash and kill was very large.

"Ahh Yes... Ahh

One after another, the Green Battalion soldiers defending the city were cut to the ground, shouting loudly.

At the beginning, the Manchurian soldiers led by Yang did attract their attention when they appeared at Hanyang Gate. However, the green battalion soldiers guarding the city found that it was the people of the Eight Banners who brought people over, and they felt that this was a normal thing.

The Qing soldiers defending the city agreed that they had been ordered by the governor's palace to come and help defend the city.

After all, it was such a cold day, and it was still windy and drizzling.

However, these Green Battalion soldiers defending the city never thought that these Manchurian soldiers would draw their swords against them as soon as they got on the city wall, and they didn't even give the Green Battalion generals who came to question them any time to react.

At this moment, the war broke out, and the city shouted to kill.

The green battalion soldiers who were defending the city were stunned by the sudden slashing, and by the time they found out, they had already killed a lot of people.

However, it was the Manchurian Eight Banners who had always feared them who killed them. These are all the roots of the Manchu imperial state, which makes them not understand.

Even if these Green Battalion soldiers were killed a lot, the first thing they thought of was to defend with their swords rather than attack, and wait until they figured things out.

No one knows if these Manchurian soldiers were hacked and killed casually, would there be a few people in their families who would be senior officials in the court? When the time comes, as soon as they take revenge, it will not be as simple as themselves dying.

Defending with a knife is not attacking after all. Many of the green battalion soldiers who had not been defended at the head of the city were also cut down to the ground, and those who could defend were some people with decent martial arts.

At this time, the gate of Hanyang Gate had been completely occupied by the men and horses brought by the Manchurian soldiers. The vast majority of the soldiers and horses standing on this main city road are also their men.

It's always unwise to fight the trapped beasts. It was precisely because he understood one thing that just as those green battalion soldiers were finally preparing to counterattack, the sound of surrender was heard.

However, there were many soldiers in the city after all.

"Is that all it going down like?"

The besieged green battalion soldiers at the head of Hanyang Gate hesitated.

This hesitation also stopped them from wanting to resist.

"Huh... Bang..."

In the darkness of the night, a beam of fireworks flew into the air and was scattered.

"When is this going on, and who's setting off the fireworks?" Minrui, who was standing outside the tower of Wangshan Gate and looking out, asked strangely when he saw this beam of fireworks.

Because Wangshan Gate is far away from Hanyang Gate, and the battle at Hanyang Gate is sudden, the Qing soldiers who came to report the news have not yet arrived.

"I don't know, but it looks like it's near Hanyang Gate." At this moment, Shen Xiqiu, the counselor general of Wuchang City, who was next to Min Rui, replied.

"Hanyangmen? Could something be happening? I don't know why, when Min Rui heard Shen Xiqiu's words, he thought uneasily.

However, looking at the calm appearance of the Wangshan city wall. Except for the muffled sound of the wind blowing the city walls, there was no noise in the surrounding area.

A cold wind blew, and Min Rui felt a chill on his cheeks.

After this cold, Minrui couldn't help but comfort himself in his heart.

"Yes, it's cold and humid right now. This thief has just arrived, and there are countless soldiers in this city, and there is plenty of grain in stock, so it should be impregnable. I don't want to be too sensitive. ”

The shadow of the fire in the brazier on the city wall swayed, and Minrui, who had quieted down, couldn't help but think again. He always reminded him that there was something wrong with him, but he couldn't think of where that point was.

"Where is it?"

Min Seo was quietly thinking about what was wrong with the whole arrangement.

The people around Min Rui looked at Min Rui just standing there quietly, as if thinking about something, and didn't dare to disturb. can only be quietly in place, accompanied by Minrui standing in front of the city tower blowing this cold wind.

Suddenly, Minrui seemed to think that something was wrong. But then he shook his head again.

"Newspaper... Urgent..."

"I'm going to meet the Governor at once, and you get out of the way..."

I saw a messenger dressed in a soldier-style Qing army uniform shouting and running over.

If you want to say that this messenger ran far enough, he ran from Hanyang Gate to the Governor's Palace, and then from the Governor's Palace to get Min Rui's whereabouts and ran to Wangshan Gate. Fortunately, he could ride a horse, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to run so fast if he broke his leg.

"What's so alarming?" Min Rui's suppressed uneasiness floated again, and he hurriedly asked the Qing soldiers who came over to report loudly.

Hearing Min Rui's question, the messenger ran to Min Rui and knelt down in front of Min Rui even faster, and hurriedly replied to Min Rui: "Report to the Governor, Hanyang Gate has been attacked, and now the city gate may have been lost." ”

After listening to the words of the messenger, Min Rui actually took a half step back untenably. The tone even asked eagerly: "What the hell is going on, you can tell me quickly." ”

"Huh."

The messenger replied with his head bowed in his habitual bow

"Originally, everything was safe and sound in Hanyangmen. I don't know why suddenly a battalion full of Eight Banners soldiers came, and as soon as they got on the city wall, they slashed at us. The brethren on the city wall were already unprepared, and this suddenly happened. Many of them were cut to the ground, and by the time I left, there were not many defenders left. ”

"What do you say? A battalion full of men slashing you? Minrui asked in horror.

"Yes, Lord Governor." The messenger replied with an aggrieved face.

"Full camp, but the group of Manchurian soldiers who came to Wuchang City not long ago." At this point, Min Rui seemed to be waiting for an answer that he already knew.

"Yes, Lord Governor." The messenger replied without hesitation.

Because I have been to the Governor's Palace, I have a certain understanding of this Manchurian soldier, so this messenger can answer so affirmatively.

"Damn, I damn it. I didn't think of it, I should have thought of this. Min Rui said remorsefully.

"Shen Xiqiu, quickly, immediately transfer troops with me to support Hanyang Gate."
