Chapter 542: Upset
Chapter 542 is upset
As soon as I rounded the street corner, I saw two soldiers grabbing a woman and teasing in front of a house.
When I looked again, there was a man's body lying on the ground, bleeding profusely, and it was cut down when he was pulling.
The woman's bun was disheveled, the placket had been torn open, and her outer skirt had been torn off, crying and begging for crying, but she was pressed against the wall and could not move.
Meng Tietou saw that one of the rebels had taken off his pants, and couldn't help but shout: Stop!
With that, he gave his order and rushed over with his own soldiers.
The two soldiers who were committing violence probably didn't expect someone to dare to scold them in the street, and they looked back in surprise for a moment.
But I saw a thin-looking man, who was running over with a sword in his hand, and knew that this must be an important person in the city, so he panicked, and the soldier who grabbed the woman's hands turned his head and ran, but the other suffered a loss, his pants were wrapped around his feet, and he suddenly fell into a dog eating, and was held down by You Jiren and others.
When I asked, it was not a local soldier, but a green battalion soldier.
Meng Tietou immediately frowned.
These green battalion soldiers are all veterans from Zhejiang, and they were Ma Jinbao's subordinates as early as Jinhua, and they have always been known for their corrupt military discipline but strong combat effectiveness.
In the first battle of Zhejiang, most of these green battalions were scattered and captured, but a small number followed Ma Jinbao all the way to this point, and became the backbone of the city defense second only to the pro-soldiers.
In order to stabilize the city defense, Ma Jinbao specially left a team of green battalion soldiers at each city gate to suppress the formation, hoping that they would suppress those Cao soldiers who would only scare the people.
Because they had to rely on them for their lives, most of them, from Admiral Ma himself to the officers at all levels who commanded the army, did not dare to restrain them too much, and some things passed with a blind eye, and the more they connived at them to do evil in the city, which harmed many people
Meng Tietou had long been unaccustomed to this group of half-soldier and half-bandit outlaws, seeing this scene, he originally wanted to enforce the military law and directly behead this person on the street to show the public, in order to set an example.
However, seeing the unruly eyes of this rout, there was quite a bit of fearlessness, he secretly thought that if he ordered to kill people and provoked this gang of villains to make noise, before waiting for the thieves to attack, Yangzhou City would be in chaos by itself!
Now that the enemy is present, you don't want to defend the city and the people, but you are doing this kind of reluctance in the streets and alleys!
Meng Tietou held the hilt of his sword in his hand, wrenched his face and reprimanded, fighting for a woman, where has the man's courage gone?
He pretended to reprimand a few words, but finally said dryly: I miss that you are young, and you still have to serve the country, and send this head, go back to the army quickly, and kill the enemy to serve the country!
After the training, he waved his hand and ordered the people to be released.
The woman kneeling on the side saw that the murderer of the husband was scolded for a few words and was released, she couldn't help crying and crawling a few steps forward, grabbed Meng Tietou's feet, and begged repeatedly: Master, my grandson is a Xiucai in the school, and today I didn't go out to send the slave and maid back to Dongcheng to visit her mother's house, but they blocked the road and robbed and killed the master to ask the master to uphold justice and punish the murderer!
If it was in the past, Xiucai's identity could still be used to bluff people, even if it was for the sake of the face of the same scholar, Meng Tietou was afraid that he would have to take care of one or two.
But at this moment, the thief is outside a wall, everyone lives one day at a time, and the head is pinned to the waistband of the trousers, how can he take care of so much, not to mention a mere talent, even if the prefect is killed, I am afraid that he is just a vain ghost
Meng Tietou was already upset, and when she cried like this, he was even more angry, and kicked the woman a few times before he got out of his body, and he avoided as if he was running away
I ran another street, and finally there was a castle tower in front of me.
Suddenly, he saw dozens of soldiers led by an officer, and they rushed straight to them with a noisy shout.
Grandma's, the thief is so fierce, our brother has to get a woman, you have to pretend to be Qiao, so that the brothers are uncomfortable!
The team officer pointed at Meng Tietou's nose and scolded, you nerd still want to kill your brothers? Little ones, cut off this one's head first!
Whew!
The rebels responded in unison and immediately rushed forward.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the soldiers and family members quickly formed two horizontal formations and set up a defensive formation.
You Jiren and the others drew their steel knives, and their short bodies were in front to resist, while the more than ten pro-soldiers in the back column all stood, completing the ammunition loading with great speed, and 6 continued to raise the muzzle of the gun
They are all members of the new army, and what they hold in their hands is the latest flint firecracker, during this time, Wang Jijun's hard work has not been in vain, dealing with these routs with guns and knives, compared to the continuous guns against the Ming thieves, it is much easier.
Seeing this scene, Meng Tietou unconsciously became impulsive, drew his sword with a brush, and rushed to the front of the formation.
You Jiren was so anxious that he shouted: My lord, go behind us!
Of course, he was not worried about Meng Tietou, but he thought that he was in the way in front of him, but he affected everyone.
Meng Tietou was embarrassed for a while, knowing that he was useless at this time, so he retreated to the back of the formation step by step, and did not forget to shout in a panic: Fight back the rebels, there will be a reward!
Seeing that the soldiers had firearms and a good formation, the rebels hesitated for a while, but the officer shouted: Give it all to Lao Tzu! Our brothers haven't suffered this loss in this Yangzhou city! If they dare to let go of the guns, they will simply slaughter them clean!
These people were able to leave their hometowns and flee here with Ma Jinbao, most of them were outlaws, all of them had blood on their hands, and they were so bewitched that a dozen or so bold people immediately rushed up.
Bang bang bang
The pro-soldiers opened fire at the same time, a platoon of gunshots rang out, and five or six rebels fell to the ground
See blood! Once this basket is poked, there is no turning back!
The Youji people, who were half-kneeling in the front row, were sweating from the palms of their hands holding the knife.
He knew that if this platoon of guns didn't frighten the rebels, it would be too late to reload, and then, it would be their turn to fight the rebels in the front row.
When the time comes, everyone will fight and retreat in a group, and whether they can survive or not will depend on their destiny
At this time, Meng Tietou also felt that this time it was more than lucky.
For a while, he really wanted to run away, but his legs really didn't obey him, he tried his best to calm himself, holding the sword in his hand, to see if he could fight his way out of the encirclement.
The rebels were frightened for a moment, but only for a moment, and after a moment of silence, a few bold eyes rushed forward in a desperate manner.
The family members had no choice but to prepare to kill in front of the sword, and the rebels shouted, wielding knives and guns, and charged desperately
It was too late, but it was too fast, and a man on a horse rushed into the chaos formation, waving his long knife sharply, and in a blink of an eye, he cut down several of the rebels to the ground.
Meng Tietou fixed his eyes and saw that it was no one else, Wang Jijun was also.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted ecstatically: Wang Qian is here! Kill!
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!
In the choking smoke, a rain of bullets shot into the group of rebels, and the originally rampant rebels were killed and wounded, and there was a sudden chaos.
One by one, a soldier with a hundred or so flint guns in hand rushed to the front and shouted at the rebels: only punish evil, never ask questions, and surrender quickly if you don't hurry up!
