Chapter 147: Martyrdom
It's a pity that the reinforcements of the Ming army have not arrived for a long time, and the third group of rebels has poured in again, and more than 100 people have joined the battle group.
Not long after, the dozen or so Ming troops on both sides were first hacked to death by the bandits one by one, and more and more people gradually divided Brother Long and the others into two groups and surrounded them.
After Brother Long and the others were surrounded, they immediately made a group of three people to protect each other's backs to protect the loopholes, and confronted the enemy with guns without fear, as long as they saw a loophole, they stepped out to assassinate one person, and then quickly retreated to each other's horns to support, and the traitors who were greedy for merit were all stabbed to death or stoned to death without exception.
For a time, more than 100 rebels on the periphery had nothing to do with them, and everyone was shouting with knives but most of them hesitated.
At this moment, the faces of these six warriors are full of perseverance and determination!
Their posture has never been so upright, and tall!
……
At the same time, the group of more than eighty rebels who had been rushing into the city were searching along the narrow streets, and in the blink of an eye they had reached the center of the town more than three miles from the city gates.
As soon as I turned a street corner, there were barracks with very small windows on both sides of the front, and when I was looking around, suddenly gunfire rang out, and lead bullets and arrows poured down from the roofs on both sides, and more than 20 people immediately fell to the ground screaming.
This group of rebels was also very strong, although they were ambushed, they were not too flustered, they all stuck under the wall, and returned fire to the Ming army on the roof with bows and arrows, only to find that the number of Ming troops was not large, and a short confrontation was formed for a while.
It turned out that these Ming troops lying on the roof were the left-behind personnel left by Li Yuanyin to guard the prisoners, and the number was only more than 30 people.
The reserves originally arranged by Li Yuanyin had already been transferred to the city wall in turn due to the tragic fighting situation, and those who stayed here to guard the prisoners were also constantly withdrawn, and now there are only more than 100 people left, and some of them are still slightly injured.
Hearing the sound of killing outside, one of the hundred households suggested that the captives be tied together with long ropes, and a part of the soldiers climbed on the roof to strengthen the guard, in case they were all suffocated when the last moment came, and the less than 100 people who remained in the house guarded the doors and windows with knives and guns, and at the same time kept an eye on more than 3,000 unarmed prisoners.
In the middle of the confrontation, the next moment, only the sound of horses' hooves was heard from the north, and a group of people wearing bright forbidden army uniforms appeared on the street corner, the queue was neat, the speed was extremely fast, and Li Yuanyin's last bit of counterattack force was finally dispatched.
Seeing that there was a battle here, these men immediately divided into a group and rushed forward with their swords, while the rest of the group continued to gallop south.
In such a narrow street, the infantry encountered the high-speed rushing cavalry like eggs hitting stones, and there was no place to hide, and the still living rebels were oppressed by this terrifying momentum, and their fighting spirit was completely lost, and they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and a few who tried to escape were quickly cut to the ground, and then trampled into flesh by the hooves of galloping horses.
……
At this moment, at the gate of the city, a heroic scene finally arrived.
Brother Long, under their feet, there are more and more corpses lying down, and most of them themselves have been hung up, and Brother Long himself has been stabbed several times, and he is still angry and angry, and those who dare to get close to him die!
In the middle of the confrontation, a group of people crawled in from the rebels, including more than a dozen pikemen, and when they saw Brother Long and the others who were surrounded in the middle, they stabbed without saying a word.
When the seven-foot spear hiding behind Park Daoshou stabbed from all sides, Brother Long and they finally fell behind, and immediately one of the fighters smashed open a shot and was stabbed to death on the spot without dodging the second gun.
Brother Long, who had lost cover on one side, dodged a few times in a row, smashed open a spear and killed one person in the middle of the situation, but was unfortunately stabbed in the chest by another spearman.
With a "poof", the sharp spearhead pierced Brother Long's chest in one fell swoop.
Brother Long's eyes were about to split, a mouthful of blood spurted out, staring at this person with dead eyes, stretched out his left hand and grabbed the barrel of the gun tightly, and with the last strength of his right hand, he slammed forward, and the sharp rifle stabbed the same straight into the man's left chest......
In this way, the surrounding knife-wielding bandits watched in a daze as the two of them were tightly connected by a spear and a rifle in a strange posture, and their bodies maintained a forward posture, gritting their teeth at each other and glaring at each other......
Later, when people cleaned the battlefield, they found that both men were holding their own and each other's weapons with their hands, and they couldn't break them......
……
Not long after, the rest of the other warriors were also martyred, all of them were stabbed with spears and hacked to death by the bandits who swarmed up.
After the six warriors fell, the attention of the rebels was immediately drawn to the three people in the city gate cave.
I saw Li Yuanyin slowly stand up, took the war knife handed over by his own soldiers, took a step forward steadily, and shouted loudly with the tip of the knife: "Li Yuanyin, Marquis of Nanyang of the Ming Dynasty, is here!" Wait for the clowns who jump off the beams, come up if you don't want to live! ”
Li Yuanyin had suffered flesh injuries before, and the vital parts were basically not injured, so he didn't dare to exert himself for fear that the wound that had just healed would collapse again, and he couldn't care so much at the last moment.
Three people! Three-handled knives!
Standing in the shape of a pin, standing upright in the city gate hole! Defend the two heavy gates behind you!
After a while, the three steel knives danced straight in the cold light, and the former were all splashed with blood on the spot, because they couldn't enter the city gate behind them, the bandits could only besiege the city for a half-moon-shaped encirclement, and they stepped forward again and again, screaming, and retreating, Li Yuanyin once again stained his robe with blood, and almost became a bloody man.
Suddenly, a cold arrow suddenly flew in and instantly shot into Li Yuanyin's abdomen.
It turned out that a rebel reacted and found that there was no one behind him who was not afraid of accidental injury, so he flashed to the side, looked at the gap and secretly released an arrow.
Li Yuanyin staggered, covered his abdomen with his left hand, gritted his teeth and straightened up again, his eyes were like King Kong, and he raised his knife to point directly at the traitor, so frightened that the man threw the hard bow in his hand and retreated again and again, but unexpectedly stumbled under his feet, and fell backwards with his feet facing the sky, but his neck was impartial and slashed the steel knife that was about to be waved in the hand of a companion on his side.
As a bloody arrow flew out, the guy turned his head and stared at a pair of puzzled eyes, clutching his neck and babbling and falling to the ground......
Retribution came so fast! This insidious man was killed by his own people!
Seeing this, none of the remnants of the rebels dared to shoot cold arrows to sneak attack, and they all gathered around with guns and knives, and only moved forward slowly.
No one wants to be the first to come out, the temptation of killing a Hou Ye is very great, but there is no life to enjoy, no matter how big the battle is a bird!
Li Yuanyin's two personal soldiers were also seriously wounded, but when they saw this, they still rushed forward, guarded him tightly, and kept swinging their knives to resist the spears that poked over.
Li Yuanyin staggered a few steps, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood, he shook it a few times and then fixed his body on the ground, standing upright and motionless, and there seemed to be blood flowing out of his round tiger eyes......
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, and hundreds of cavalry rushed out of the street corner to the north, brandishing their sabers and ramming forward.
Especially the one who rushed to the front, like the god of war descending to earth, a saber danced coldly, as long as the surrounding bandits were stained with a little, they were taken away, this person is a thousand households named Wang Shuangyu, and he is a powerful general under Li Yuanyin.
The final counterattack is finally here!
(Question: In order to win over Li Dingguo, he was asked to send troops to King Qin, and Emperor Yongli secretly enshrined him in the title?) )
